Answer:
(x+8)^2 - 60 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 16x + 4 = 0
x^2 + 16x + 64 - 60 = 0
(x + 8)^2 - 60 = 0
First we would change the fractions into decimals and compare them. That way it would be easy to solve when needed.
1/2=0.50
5/8=0.625
1/8=0.125
Now we can see that 1/8 (0.125) is the smallest, followed by 1/2 (0.50), and 5/8 the largest. Now we can match the sizes with the insects.
Since the tiger beetle is the largest we will place that with the length of 5/8 since that is the largest.
The carpenter ant is second largest so it would be matched with 1/2
The aphid is the smallest so that would be with 1/8 as the smallest
