Question

• Trung is a doctor. He measured a baby's weight gain each month for 4 months. 6 1 7 The baby gained Ib, and 5 9 Ib. 10 Ibs, 4 Part A: Place the weight gains in order from least to greatest value. Use benchmark fractions to explain your reasoning gain is Part B: The next week, the baby's weight Ib. Place the 5 weight gains in 16 order from least to greatest value. Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

a)

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(5)=\text{ }(12)/(10)\text{ = }(48)/(40)\text{ }(1)/(4)=\text{ }(10)/(40)\text{ }(7)/(10)=\text{ }(28)/(40)\text{ }(9)/(10)=\text{ }(36)/(40) \\ \\ \text{ }After\text{ using the benchfrantions we concluded that} \\ \text{ }(10)/(40)\text{ < }(28)/(40)\text{ < }(36)/(40)\text{ < }(48)/(40)\text{ } \\ \text{ }(1)/(4)\text{ < }(7)/(10)\text{ < }(9)/(10)\text{ < }(6)/(5) \end{gathered}`

b)

`\begin{gathered} \text{ }(8)/(16)\text{ = }(4)/(8)\text{ = }(20)/(40) \\ \text{ Order} \\ \text{ }(1)/(4)\text{ < }(8)/(16)\text{ < }(7)/(10)\text{ < }\frac{9\text{ }}{10}\text{ < }(6)/(5) \end{gathered}`
