OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Try to convert the fractions to decimals.

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

okay ?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Do you know how to do it?

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

not really

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

It's all good! Just turn the fraction into improper fractions. Meaning they are no longer mixed numbers and the numerator is bigger than the denominator. (Fancy way of saying the top number is bigger than the bottom.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

like 9 1/3 what is the improper fraction form of that?

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

28?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

37/4 is an improper fraction. Divide 37 by four and that gives you the decimal form of that fraction.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

And good! now divide 28 by 3 and you have your decimal form.

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

that's 9.25

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

good, now for the other fraction?

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

it doesn't say on the calator but 9.33

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

good! now that you no longer have fractions, order your decimals from least to greatest.

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Just remember that 37/4 is 9.25 in decimal form and 9 1/3 is 9.33 when you pick an answer.

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

9.3 less or greatest

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

9.3 could be thought of as 9.30 whereas 9.33 is stated as 9.3333 Think of it this way, if you have $9.30 and I have $9.33 which one has more money?

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

hopefully that helps.

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

9.33 is more

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Yes, 9.33 is more than 9.30

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

so C

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):

Close, D. 9.25, 9.30, 9.33, and 9.4 37/4, 9.3, 9 1/3, and 9.4

OpenStudy (inexilewetrust):
