Answer: Choice B) 1 & 3/4

============================================================

Work Shown:

Convert each fraction or mixed number into its equivalent decimal form. Use a calculator or long division.

  • 1 & 3/5 = 1 + 3/5 = 1+0.6 = 1.6
  • 8/5 = 1.6
  • 1 & 3/4 = 1 + 3/4 = 1 + 0.75 = 1.75
  • 1 & 3/8 = 1 + 3/8 = 1 + 0.375 = 1.375

The decimal value 1.75 is larger than 1.6, so this shows that 1 & 3/4 is larger than 1 & 3/5
