Example Question #20 : Measure Lengths Indirectly And By Iterating Length Units

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The vase is \(\displaystyle 7\) inches, the table is \(\displaystyle 12\) inches, and the flowers are \(\displaystyle 8\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Flower, vase, table

Table, flower, vase

Vase, flower, table 

Flower, table, vase

Table, vase, flower

Correct answer:

Table, flower, vase

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 12\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 7\) and \(\displaystyle 8\) so the table comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 8\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 7\) so the flower comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 7\) is the smallest number, so the vase is the smallest object. 

Example Question #5 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The sun is \(\displaystyle 19\) inches, the star is \(\displaystyle 7\) inches, and the moon is \(\displaystyle 12\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Moon, star, sun

Moon, sun, star

Sun, moon, star

Sun, star, moon

Star, sun, moon

Correct answer:

Sun, moon, star

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 19\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 7\) and \(\displaystyle 12\) so the sun comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 12\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 7\), so the moon comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 7\) is the smallest number, so the star is the smallest object. 

Example Question #23 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The cloud is \(\displaystyle 12\) inches, the sun is \(\displaystyle 6\) inches, and the moon is \(\displaystyle 3\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Moon, sun, cloud

Sun, moon, cloud

Sun, cloud, moon

Cloud, sun, moon

Moon, cloud, sun

Correct answer:

Moon, sun, cloud

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 3\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 6\) and \(\displaystyle 12\) so the moon is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 6\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 12\), so the sun is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 12\) is the biggest number, so the cloud is the largest object. 

Example Question #1 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The dog is \(\displaystyle 5\) inches, the cat is \(\displaystyle 2\) inches, and the snake is \(\displaystyle 7\) inches.

Possible Answers:

Dog, cat, snake

Cat, dog, snake

Cat, snake, dog

Dog, snake, cat

Snake, dog, cat

Correct answer:

Cat, dog, snake

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 2\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 5\) and \(\displaystyle 7\) so the cat is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 5\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 7\), so the dog is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 7\) is the biggest number, so the snake is the largest object. 

Example Question #2 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The blanket is \(\displaystyle 13\) inches, the bed in \(\displaystyle 12\) inches, and the sheet is \(\displaystyle 16\) inches.

Possible Answers:

Bed, sheet, blanket

Sheet, bed, blanket

Blanket, bed, sheet 

Blanket, sheet, bed

Bed, blanket, sheet

Correct answer:

Bed, blanket, sheet

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 12\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 13\) and \(\displaystyle 16\) so the bed is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 13\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 16\), so the blanket is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 16\) is the biggest number, so the sheet is the largest object. 

Example Question #3 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The fireplace is \(\displaystyle 16\) inches, the mantel is \(\displaystyle 18\) inches, and the couch is \(\displaystyle 20\) inches.

Possible Answers:

Fireplace, couch, mantel

Fireplace, mantel, couch

Mantel, couch, fireplace

Couch, fireplace, mantel

Couch, mantel, fireplace 

Correct answer:

Fireplace, mantel, couch

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 16\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 18\) and \(\displaystyle 20\) so the fireplace is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 18\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 20\), so the mantel is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 20\) is the biggest number, so the couch is the largest object. 

Example Question #4 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The square is \(\displaystyle 2\) inches, the triangle is \(\displaystyle 4\) inches, and the rectangle is \(\displaystyle 12\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Rectangle, square, triangle 

Triangle, rectangle, square

Triangle, square, rectangle

Square, triangle, rectangle

Square, rectangle, triangle

Correct answer:

Square, triangle, rectangle

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 2\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 4\) and \(\displaystyle 12\) so the square is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 4\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 12\), so the triangle is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 12\) is the biggest number, so the rectangle is the largest object

Example Question #5 : Measurement & Data
