Given
Table which ahows an inspectors measurement of the lengths of four bridges
Find
Order from shortest to longest lengths of bridges.
Explanation
First we convert the lengths of Bridges in improper form , then in decimal form.
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=1\frac{49}{60}=\frac{109}{60}=1.817 \\ \\ N=1\frac{79}{100}=\frac{179}{100}=1.79 \\ \\ O=1\frac{52}{75}=\frac{127}{75}=1.693 \\ \\ P=1\frac{97}{120}=\frac{217}{120}=1.80 \end{gathered}[/tex]
so , O has shortest length and M has longest length.
Final Answer
Therefore ,
the order from shortest to longest is
Bridge O , Bridge N , Bridge P and Bridge M , so the correct option is 1
