Frog Jump Height


1. **State the problem:** We have jump heights of four frogs given as mixed fractions in inches. 2. **Convert each mixed fraction to an improper fraction or decimal for easier comparison:** - Mrs. Croak: $5 \frac{4}{5} = 5 + \frac{4}{5} = 5 + 0.8 = 5.8$ inches - Kermit: $5 \frac{3}{8} = 5 + \frac{3}{8} = 5 + 0.375 = 5.375$ inches - Mr. Hopswell: $5 \frac{11}{20} = 5 + \frac{11}{20} = 5 + 0.55 = 5.55$ inches - Froggy McFrogface: $5 \frac{7}{10} = 5 + \frac{7}{10} = 5 + 0.7 = 5.7$ inches 3. **Interpretation:** Mrs. Croak jumps the highest at 5.8 inches, and Kermit jumps the lowest at 5.375 inches. 4. **For plotting:** If we wish to plot their jump heights as points over frog names, the jump heights would plot as their decimal approximations. Final answer: The frog jump heights in decimals are: Mrs. Croak = 5.8, Kermit = 5.375, Mr. Hopswell = 5.55, Froggy McFrogface = 5.7 inches.
