Problema Solution
A box turtle hibernates in sand at -1 5/8. A spotted turtle hibernates at -1 16/25. Which turtle is deeper
Answer provided by our tutors
we need to compare 5/8 and 16/25.
5/8 = (5*25)/(8*25) = 125/200
16/25 = (16*8)/(25*8) = 124/200
Since 124/200 < 125/200 follows 16/25 < 5/8.
The turtle at - 1 5/8 is deeper.
