c. four and five-eighths, four and three-fourths, four and five-sixths
d. four and five-sixths, four and five-eighths, four and three-fourths

Answer 1

The only one that makes sense is c

Answer 2

Because four and five-eighths is the greatest

Answer 3

The easiest way to figure it out is to ignore the 4 because it does not effect the fractions.

Answer 4

if you convert them all to x/48 then you can figure it out fairly easily

Answer 5

so 8*6=48 and 5*6=30 so 5/8=30/48

Answer 6

8*6=48 and 5*8=40 so 5/6=40/48

Answer 7

4*12=48 and 3*12=36 so 3/4=36/48

Answer 8

C is not correct since as he demonstrates, 5/6 is greater than 5/8 :] try again

Answer 9

So it would be A. Right?

Answer 10

which makes it 40/48, 36/48, 30/48, or 5/6, 3/4, 5/8

so it is A, yes
