Kayla < Jonathan < Rachel

Further explanation

Given:

Rachel is 1.5 times as heavy as her cousin, Kayla.

Another cousin, Jonathan, weights 1.25 times as much as Kayla.

Question:

List the cousins, from lightest to heaviest, and explain your thinking.

The Process:

From the information above, we made a suitable diagram as follows:

[tex]Rachel: \boxed{ \ \ \ \ \ }\boxed{ \ \ } \rightarrow 1.5 \ parts[/tex]

[tex]Kayla: \boxed{ \ \ \ \ \ } \rightarrow 1 \ part[/tex]

[tex]Jonathan: \boxed{ \ \ \ \ \ }\boxed{} \rightarrow 1.25 \ parts[/tex]

We can conclude the following:

  • The diagram clearly shows that Kayla is the lightest.
  • Rachel and Jonathan are both slightly more than one time the weight of Kayla.
  • Referring to Kayla's weight, Rachel is heavier than Jonathan because 1.5 is slightly greater than 1.25 [tex]\boxed{ \ 1.5 > 1.25 \ }[/tex].

Thus, the list of cousins from lightest to heaviest is

  1. [tex]\boxed{ \ Kayla \ }[/tex]
  2. [tex]\boxed{ \ Jonathan \ }[/tex]
  3. [tex]\boxed{ \ Rachel \ }[/tex]
