<u>Answer</u>


Incorrect


<u>Explanation</u>

Unpack the problem:

Let the distance round the track to be X.

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

Robert run a distance of (1/2)x

Elaine run a distance of (3/4)x


Make a plan:

Finding the speed of each.

Compare their speeds to determine who ran faster than who.


Solution:

Robert's speed =(1/2)x/(5/6)

=1/2×6/5x

= (3/5)x

= 0.6x

Elaine's speed = (3/4)x/(9/10)

= (3/4)×(10/9)x

= (5/6)x

= 0.83333x



<em>Elaine ran faster than Robert. </em>


<u>Look back and explain:</u>

0.83333x > 0.6x

Elaine's speed is higher than Robert's speed.

This shows that Elaine ran faster than Robert.

Isaiah portioned 4 1/4 ounces of chicken. Assume 1 ounce = 28.35 grams. What is the best estimate of grams of chicken Isaiah por
MrMuchimi
Because we're estimating, we will round up 28.35 to the nearest tens value.

Look at the ones value:

28.35
8 > 5

8 is greater than 5, so we will round up 28.35 to 30.

There are 4 1/4 ounces of chicken. 4 1/4 in decimal form is 4.25. We will round this number to the nearest ones value. Look at the tenths value:

4.25
2 < 5

2 is lesser than 5, so we will round down 4.25 to 4.

There are now 4 ounces of chicken, and an ounce is equal to 30 grams. Multiply the ounces of chicken by how many grams are in an ounce:

4 \times 30 = 120

The best estimate of grams of chicken that Isaiah portioned is 120 grams.
