The table shows the amount the water levels increase in feet for five Texas lakes during 1 week Arlington 2.2 Athens 1 1/4 Belton 5.2 Bonham 2 1/2 cedar Creek 3/4 order the names of the lakes by water level increase from greatest to least and how

Answer 1

To order the lakes by the amount the water levels increased, we need to convert all the measurements into a common format (decimals often work well) and then compare them.

Here are the conversions for each lake's water level increase:

1. Arlington: 2.2 feet
2. Athens: 1 1/4 feet = 1.25 feet
3. Belton: 5.2 feet
4. Bonham: 2 1/2 feet = 2.5 feet
5. Cedar Creek: 3/4 feet = 0.75 feet

Now, let's list them in order from greatest to least water level increase:

1. Belton: 5.2 feet
2. Arlington: 2.2 feet
3. Bonham: 2.5 feet
4. Athens: 1.25 feet
5. Cedar Creek: 0.75 feet

So the order from greatest to least water level increase is:

1. Belton
2. Arlington
3. Bonham
4. Athens
5. Cedar Creek
