Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.

However, since it deals with height of different elevations and these heights are represented by fractions, a possible question could be to calculate the difference between both elevations

Represent Marvellous Spatuletail with M and Asian crested ibis with A.

$M = 4\frac{2}{9}$

$A = 10\frac{1}{4}$

Calculating the difference (D).

To do this, we make use of absolute difference as follows:

$D = |M - A|$

Substitute values for M and A

$D = |4\frac{2}{9} - 10\frac{1}{4}|$

Convert fraction to improper numbers.

$D = |\frac{38}{9} - \frac{41}{4}|$

Take LCM

$D = |\frac{38*4-41*9}{36}|$

$D = |\frac{152-369}{36}|$

$D = |\frac{-217}{36}|$

Remove the absolute sign

$D = \frac{217}{36}$

$D = 6\frac{1}{36}$

Hence, the difference between both elevations is: $6\frac{1}{36}\ meters$

Another possible question is to determine which of the two is flying at a higher elevation or lower elevation

We have.

$M = 4\frac{2}{9}$

$A = 10\frac{1}{4}$

Compare the integer parts of both fractions.

10 > 4

So, A flies at a higher elevation.

Hence: Asian crested ibis flies at a higher elevation and Marvellous Spatuletail flies at a lower elevation.
