Answer 1

1. Find the number of words that each reads in one minute. Divide 1000 by 5 and divide 525 by 4.

2. Multiply: 2/5 * $220

3. (4)(-3/2) = -12/2 = ?

4. Thirty-six thousand . . .

5. Multiply: 7/8 * 1/2 = ?

6. After you change the fractions to whole numbers and decimals, the order should be obvious.

We'll be glad to check your answers.

Answer 2

1. so um..
Talon: 1000/5 = 200

2. 0.4 x220= 88

3. -24
4. Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and thirteen

5. 0.4375

6. ,,,

So the order is:3.07,3.071,3.0717,3.072,3.0712,
3.078,3.7,3.713
