Darla sees a duck and a fish at a pond. The duck is 2 1/2 feet above the surface of the pond. The fish is 1 3/8 feet below the surface of the pond. What is the distance, in feet, between the duck and the fish? 1 1/3 1 1/8 3 7/8 3 4/10

3 7/8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Darla sees a duck and a fish at a pond and that the duck is 2 1/2 feet above the surface of the pond while the fish is 1 3/8 feet below the surface of the pond.

The distance, in feet, between the duck and the fish will be calculated as:

= 2 1/2 - (-1 3/8)

= 2 1/2 + 1 3/8

= 2 4/8 + 1 3/8

= 3 7/8 feet

The distance, in feet, between the duck and the fish is 3 7/8 feet

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
