Question

Jack, Oliver, and Nate all started at the same weight at the beginning of the year. The table below reports their change in weight since then.

Answer 1

Jack's weight :

$1 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$

Olivers' weight :

$- 3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{ - 3 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{ - 5}{2}$

Nate's weight:

$- 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{ - 2 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{ - 7}{4}$

LCM = 4

$\frac{ - 5 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{ - 10}{4}$

Comparison:

$\frac{ - 10}{4} < \frac{ - 7}{4} < \frac{5}{4}$

So arrange it as Jake, Nate and Oliver.
