The statements that the principal could make when comparing the goals each grade has set are: 7th-grade plan to raise double the 5th grade, 6th-grade plan to raise 5th grade.6th-grade plan to raise
of 8th grade.
How do we compare numbers?
A comparison statement is, in general, just a statement that compares two quantities or values. For instance, "If we add x apples to 3 apples, then the total number of apples is less than 10 apples" or "Mary's height is the same as Milly's height."
In the given question, we have:
The amount with 5th grade is 120 dollars
The amount with 6th grade is 180 dollars
The amount with 7th grade is 240 dollars
The amount with 8th grade is 300 dollars
So, When we double that with 5th grade will be 240 dollar
Hence, The first statement can be a 7th-grade plan to raise double the 5th-grade.
Similarly,
If we multiply by the amount of 5th grade, we get 180 dollars.
and, when we multiply two-thirds of the 8th-grade amount, we get 180 dollars.
Hence, The three statements that we can write are:
7th-grade plan to raise double the 5th grade.
6th-grade plan to raise 5th grade.
6th-grade plan to raise of 8th grade.
(b)The two statements that could use to compare the goal to 8th graders are:
6th-grade plan to raise of 8th grade.
8th-grade plan multiplied by gives 7th grade plan.
When we multiply 300 by the amount we get 240 dollars.
Hence, The statement that the principal could use to compare the goal to the 8th grader's goal is:
6th-grade plan to raise of 8th grade.
8th-grade plan multiplied by gives 7th grade plan.
