Question

Which of the following shows the correct order of the given numbers?
1 5/8, 1 3/10, 1.6

Answer 1

If you're looking to put them in order from least to greatest , it'll be 1 3/10 , 1.6 , 1 5/8 . You have to make the fractions into decimals

Answer 2

Explanation:

We need to write the given numbers in order

`1 (5)/(8) = (1*8+5)/(8) =(13)/(8)`

`1 (3)/(10) = (1*10+3)/(10) =(13)/(10)`

Now convert the fraction into decimals

`(13)/(8) =1.625`

`(13)/(10) =1.3`

We are given with 1.6 as well

so numbers are 1.625, 1.3, 1.6

Now we write it in order

Ascending order : 1.3, 1.6, 1.625

`1(3)/(10) , 1.6, 1(5)/(8)`

Descending order is

`1(5)/(8), 1.6, 1(3)/(10)`
