Question

Nico and Albert are finishing up a science project. They measured the length in inches of three insect's from a website. Bug Length Bug. Length in inches Lady bug= 3/8Ant= 1/4Firefly= 7/8honeybee= 0.8Deer tick= 0.2Which list shows the lengths from shortest to longest?0.2, 1/4, 3/8, 0.8, 7/80.2, 1/4, 3/8, 7/8, 0.81/4, 0.2, 3.8, 7/8, 0.80.8, 1/4, 3/8, 0.2, 7/8

Answer 1

In order to compare the lengths we will convert them into decimals:

Bug. Length in inches

Lady bug= 3/8 = 0.375

Ant= 1/4 = 0.25

Firefly= 7/8 = 0.875

honeybee= 0.8

Deer tick= 0.2

Now we know that the order, from shortest to longest, is:

0.2, 1/4, 3/8, 0.8, 7/8
