Question

for a stem competition julienne constructed a model rocket the rocket can reach an average height of 545 ft. Find the differences between the average height and the actual Heights reached. Then write them as a positive and negative rational numbers. order the differences from least to greatest

Answer 1

We have the following table:
545-534.2 = 10.8
545-556.4 = -11.4
545-554.0 = -9
545-535.3 = 9.7
write them as a positive and negative rational numbers
positive:
9.7 = 9 7/10
10.8 = 10 4/5
negative:
-11.4 = -11 2/5
-9 = -9
the differences from least to greatest
-11 2/5
-9
9 7/10
10 4/5
