Question

WORTH 90 POINTS!!!!


A toolbox contains a pile of mixed up pile of wrenches. The wrenches are all labeled with the dimension of their openings in fractions of an inch.the measurements of the wrenches are 1/2 3/4 3/8 5/8 5/16 7/16 and 11/16 inches

1. You want to put the wrenches is order from smallest to largest opening just using the labeled fraction measurement.

a. Give two different methods you can use to put the fractions in order.

B. Choose a method from part 1a and show your conversions below
C. List the fraction in order from least to greatest.


2.plot the sizes of the wrenches on the number line below (in the picture) label each point with a wrench measurement

3. Explain how the number line can be used to support your answer form part 1c.

Answer 1

1a. You can find an LCD and convert all fractions into ones with the same denominator and order them that way. You can also convert all fractions large than 1 into a mix number, and order it that way. You can also use cross multiplication to order two fractions, but there are way too many to be using that way.

1b. I will be finding an LCD and converting them all that way.
1/2= 8/16
3/4= 12/16
3/8= 6/16
5/8= 10/16
5/16= 5/16
7/16= 7/16
11/16= 11/16
 
C. From least to greatest, here we go: 
5/16
3/8
7/16
1/2
5/8 
11/16
3/4

2. See the attached picture

3. The points from left to right on the number line show the numbers from smallest to largest and can prove that these points are in the right order in comparison to each other.

Answer 2

Here is the correct answer! The other person's is incomplete and wrong on some parts! I got 100% when I turned it in for K12. Look at PDF.
