Answer:
1. You're being asked how long the are the longest feathers are in the data set.
2. The data set used for this problem is Fox Sparrow feathers, this information is found in the data chart.
3. They all have the number 2 in common, and they're mostly all fractions.
4. The same whole number with a fraction is bigger because if you convert a fraction into a decimal, the decimal will be bigger. For example, 2 3/4 converted into a decimal is 2.75, and 2 alone is just 2, so 2.75 > 2.
(If you arent learning about coverting fractions into decimals I'm sorry, thats just how I understand it)
5. You can tell which one is bigger by looking at the numerator.
