Maya is incorrect because she listed the runners from least improved to most improved. Runners that decreased times are improving, and those that add time are not improving.

Jackson is comparison shopping for orange juice. He created a table to help him decide which package was the best deal.Orange Juice Cost by PackagePackageCostCost per ounce10 oz bottle$1.99$0.19959 oz bottle$3.33$0.056489 oz bottle$4.99$0.0561 Case of 24 10 oz bottles$34.99$0.145864 oz carton$3.60$0.05625Jackson claims that the order of the best deal to the worst deal (based on cost/oz) is 10 oz bottle, 89 oz bottle, 59 oz bottle, case of 24 10 oz bottles, and 64 oz carton. Which statement about Jackson’s claim is true?

A
Jackson is correct because he used the length of each decimal to compare the different costs. For example, 0.149 < 0.1457 < 0.05625.
B
Jackson is correct because he compared values in equal place values to compare only the decimals with the same length. For example, 0.0561 < 0.0564 < 0.05625.
C
Jackson is incorrect because he should compare the values in equal place values to compare all the decimals, not just those of the same length. For example, 0.0561 < 0.05625 < 0.0564.
D
Jackson is incorrect because the case of 24 oz bottles is less per ounce than the 59 oz bottle and the 89 oz bottle. For example, 0.1457 < 0.0561 < 0.0564.
