Question

for a stem competition julienne constructed a model rocket the rocket can reach an average height of 545 ft. Find the differences between the average height and the actual Heights reached. Then write them as a positive and negative rational numbers. order the differences from least to greatest

Answer 1

We have the following table:
 545-534.2 = 10.8
 545-556.4 = -11.4
 545-554.0 = -9
 545-535.3 = 9.7
 write them as a positive and negative rational numbers
 positive:
 9.7 = 9 7/10
 10.8 = 10 4/5
 negative:
 -11.4 = -11 2/5
 -9 = -9
 the differences from least to greatest
 -11 2/5
 -9
 9 7/10
 10 4/5
