Write the three rational numbers related to the balance in Jason’s checking account in order from greatest to least.

Respuesta :

Answer: The three rational numbers related to the balance in Jason’s checking account in order from greatest to least are:

[tex]\frac{200}{1} = $200.00[/tex]

[tex]\frac{115}{1} = $115.00[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4483}{50} = $89.66[/tex]

Step-by-step-explanation:

Let's start by explaining what a rational number is:

A rational number are all the fractional numbers, nonetheless. all the integer numbers can be also expressed as fractional numbers. e.g. [tex]\frac{200}{1}[/tex]

Balance Jason’s checking account

1. Deposit by Jason's parents was $200.00

Total balance, first rational number: [tex]\frac{200}{1}[/tex]

2. Jason's first withdraw to pay his calculus book: $85.00

Total balance $200.00-$85.00 = $115.00

Second rational number: [tex]\frac{115}{1}[/tex]

3. Jason´s second withdraw to pay for miscellaneous school supplies: $25.34

Total balance $115.00 - $25.34 = $89.66

Third rational number: [tex]\frac{4483}{50} = $89.66[/tex]
