Question

1) Order the animals by sleep time from least to greatest.
2) Estimate the proportion of the day that you sleep.
3) Where do you fit on the ordered list?
Dolphin= 0.433 Lion=56.3% Rabbit= 19/40 Squirrel= Tiger=65.8%

Answer 1

The way to line the animals is to put them in order going down. 0.433 56.3% 19/40 65.8%. Then you try to figure out what you need to convert so that you can get your answer. 56.3% changes to 0.563 because you move the decimal two places to the left. 65.8% changes to 0.658 and 19/40 is 0.475. 0.433 0.563 0.475 0.658. Now you compare each row to figure them out. When you do that your answer will be 0.433, 0.475, 0.563, and 0.658. I sleep about 9/24 of the day which is 0.375 and I will fit right befor 0.433.
