Question

A circle has a circumference of 487

centimeters. Maricela recorded that the
circumference was 150.8 centimeters. Is
150.8 less than a greater than 48-?
Explain your answer:

Answer 1

`150.8 < 487`

Explanation:

Given

`C = 487cm` -- Actual measurement

`M = 150.8` -- Recorded measurement

Required

Is M < C or M > C?

By comparing both values, we can see that:

`M < C`

Because, on a number line from right to left; 150.8 comes before 487.

Hence:

`150.8 < 487`
