Question

Which of the following shows the mixed numbers in order from least to greatest

Explain your answer


A. 2 3/4, 2 5/8, 2 7/10

B. 2 5/8, 2 7/10, 2 3/4

C. 2 5/8, 2 7/10, 2 3/4

D. 2 7/10, 2 3/4, 2 5/18

Answer 1

B. 2 5/8, 2 7/10, 2 3/4

To convert the fractions to decimals, (by dividing the numerator by the denominator,) the 2 5/8 = 2.625, 2 7/10 = 2.7, and 2 3/4 = 2.75. For example, since the "2" in 2 5/8 is a whole number, it would go in front of the decimal point (2.0), then you just divide 5 by 8.
