@vera_ewing

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

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.

OpenStudy (kvng_sj):

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?

OpenStudy (kvng_sj):

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.

OpenStudy (kvng_sj):

oh B?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Yes.

OpenStudy (kvng_sj):

thank you!! i needa get me a tutor asap XD
