Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.
However, since it deals with height of different elevations and these heights are represented by fractions, a possible question could be to calculate the difference between both elevations
Represent Marvellous Spatuletail with M and Asian crested ibis with A.
[tex]M = 4\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
[tex]A = 10\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Calculating the difference (D).
To do this, we make use of absolute difference as follows:
[tex]D = |M - A|[/tex]
Substitute values for M and A
[tex]D = |4\frac{2}{9} - 10\frac{1}{4}|[/tex]
Convert fraction to improper numbers.
[tex]D = |\frac{38}{9} - \frac{41}{4}|[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]D = |\frac{38*4-41*9}{36}|[/tex]
[tex]D = |\frac{152-369}{36}|[/tex]
[tex]D = |\frac{-217}{36}|[/tex]
Remove the absolute sign
[tex]D = \frac{217}{36}[/tex]
[tex]D = 6\frac{1}{36}[/tex]
Hence, the difference between both elevations is: [tex]6\frac{1}{36}\ meters[/tex]
Another possible question is to determine which of the two is flying at a higher elevation or lower elevation
We have.
[tex]M = 4\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
[tex]A = 10\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Compare the integer parts of both fractions.
10 > 4
So, A flies at a higher elevation.
Hence: Asian crested ibis flies at a higher elevation and Marvellous Spatuletail flies at a lower elevation.
