Read the excerpt from The Building of Manhattan.
The BOOM is usually 70 to 90 feet long and is hinged to the mast at its base, so that both move together when the derrick swings to a new direction.
Which statement best explains how an illustration would make this text easier to understand?
It would help the reader visualize the complex parts described in the text.
Well for reading the passage I will say the answer is (A).
2/6<3/6
If you want it to be easier, simplify both.
2/6 simplified is 1/4 and 3/6 simplified is 1/2.
Okay, lets start from the beginning. I'm going to assume the worksheet means/is asking how long/short the sound would be from the object. So...
1) Light bulb - Long
2) Bricks/Cinderblocks - Short
3) Hair Dryer - Long
4) Swimming - Long
5) Whistle - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
6) Crying/Wailing - Long
7) Fencing - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
8) Grilling - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
9) Flies/Bug - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
10) Smiling- Short
11) Eating Pie/Pie in General - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
12) Jumping off a cliff. Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
Hope that helps.
