Your list of numbers needs a bit of clarification.
You wrote: <span>.9,1.1,.10 38 and .10299
I have to make some assumptions here, and to ask whether you meant the following:
</span><span>.9, 1.1, .1038 and .10299
If so, now's the time to look for the smallest and the largest of these numbers. The smallest is 0.10299:
smallest </span> 0.10299 <span>0.1038 0.9 1.1
</span>.9, 1.1, .1038 and .10299
If my list disagrees with yours, please ensure that you have copied down these four numbers correctly and then try again (on your own) to order them correctly from smallest to largest.
To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.
Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high.
