Ok, so which number has the greatest value?
OpenStudy (kvng_sj):
its either 1 and 3/10ths or 1.6
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
No, the number with the greatest value is \[1\frac{ 5 }{ 8 }\] because it is 1.62 as a decimal. \[1\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }\] is only 1.3 as a decimal.

well dang lol so the greatest in a dec. could be the lower in a fraction?
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
Yes, for example, \[1\frac{ 9 }{ 13 }\] is 1.69 as a decimal, while \[1\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\] is 1.80 as a decimal.
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
\[1\frac{ 4 }{ 5 } >1\frac{ 9 }{ 13 }\] because 1.80 > 1.69
OpenStudy (kvng_sj):
ohh okay
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
So, what do you think the answer is?

i get it thank you
OpenStudy (kvng_sj):
C
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
Why do you think it is C?
OpenStudy (kvng_sj):
because 1 and 5/8 is lower and 1 and 3/10 is greater and 1.6 is just a decimal
OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
The numbers are 1.62, 1.3, and 1.6. Order them from least to greatest.
