Problem Description:
The task involves sorting letters into two categories:
vowels and
consonants. The image shows two jars labeled "vowels" and "consonants," along with a set of letters at the bottom of the page. The goal is to identify which letters are vowels and which are consonants and place them in the appropriate jars.
Letters Provided:
The letters given in the image are:
- Top row: `f, e, c, h, i, k`
- Bottom row: `a, r, g, u, x, o`
Solution Approach:
1.
Identify Vowels: In English, the vowels are `a, e, i, o, u`. Sometimes `y` can act as a vowel, but in this context, we will consider only the standard five vowels.
2.
Identify Consonants: All other letters that are not vowels are consonants.
3.
Sort the Letters:
- Place all vowels in the "vowels" jar.
- Place all consonants in the "consonants" jar.
Step-by-Step Sorting:
#### Vowels:
- From the top row: `e, i`
- From the bottom row: `a, u, o`
So, the vowels are:
e, i, a, u, o
#### Consonants:
- From the top row: `f, c, h, k`
- From the bottom row: `r, g, x`
So, the consonants are:
f, c, h, k, r, g, x
Final Answer:
-
Vowels Jar: `e, i, a, u, o`
-
Consonants Jar: `f, c, h, k, r, g, x`
Boxed Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Vowels: e, i, a, u, o; Consonants: f, c, h, k, r, g, x}}
\]
This solution ensures that each letter is correctly categorized based on whether it is a vowel or a consonant.
