+831 Marc is growing three bean plants as part of a science experiment. Plant A is 1/3 inch tall. Plant B is 3/4 inch tall. Plant C is 5/6 inch tall. Order the plants from shortest to tallest.
B, C, A
C, B, A
B, A, C
A, B, C
WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER?
+3454 Ornstein is correct, ABC is the answer.
Right now we have:
A =1/3
B = 3/4
C = 5/6
To figure this out let's make all of the measurements have a common deminator (same number of the bottom of the fraction)
A =1/3*4/4
A = 4/12
------
B=3/4*3/3
B = 9/12
-----
C=5/6*2/2
C = 10/12
Now we can easily compare these and see that A is the smallest, B is the next biggest, and C is the biggest!
