If you would like to know who is the tallest, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Jackie ... j
Samuel: 5/8 inch + j = 5/8 + j = 0.625 + j
Shelly: 0.7 inch + j = 0.7 + j
Craig: 1/2 inch + j = 1/2 + j = 0.5 + j

The correct result would be: Shelly is the tallest.

HOW is it helpful to write numbers in different ways?
Alisiya [41]
It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)

so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if  you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7


and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex  0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent

sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root

it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem

Line CD contains points A (4, -7) and B (4, 8). The slope of line CD is
mylen [45]
<span>To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of a point on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates. It is expressed as:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)
slope = 8-(-7) / 4 - 4
slope = 15 / 0
slope = undefined <------ SECOND OPTION

The line should be vertical where the slope is undefined. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
