Question

Explain how you know 1 5/8 is a little grater than 1 1/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out that 1 5/8 is greater than 1 1/2, find common denominators.

Multiply 1/2 by 4:

4/8.

Let's compare:

1 5/8 > 1 4/8.

This is because 5 > 4.

Your answer: One numerator is smaller than the other, therefore making 1 5/8 greater.
