OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Exactly, so that's your first number, all the other numbers are less than 1. Are you using all the numbers, or just the ones in the first pic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um the pics are 2 different problems so lets do the first pic

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

okay, lets... What is the next biggest number do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

right, 7/8 = 0.875

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 0.83 not 0.38

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

0.83 then 9/22, then 0.4

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

9/22 is slightly larger than 0.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
