While visiting a historic district during a field trip, the students were told the dates that four of the historic houses were built. The chart below list those dates. According to the list, which house was built last?
a. House no. (1)
b. House no. (2)
c. House no. (3)
d. House no. (4)
Answer : ( c ) – House no. (3)
In order to solve this problem, a student must recognize which number in the table represents the highest number. That number will indicate the year the last house was built. By examining the table, it is determined that 1853 is the highest number in the table. Therefore House no. (3) was built last.
The student can list the numbers in ascending or descending order to assist in identifying the highest number.
In order to list the numbers in ascending order, they can be written as follows:
1803 - 1819 - 1836 - 1853
In order to list the numbers in descending order, the can be written as follows:
1853 - 1836 - 1819 - 1803
Both of the above cases indicates that the highest number is 1853 and the lowest number is 1803.
