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

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the given numbers in order

$1 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1*8+5}{8} =\frac{13}{8}$

$1 \frac{3}{10} = \frac{1*10+3}{10} =\frac{13}{10}$

Now convert the fraction into decimals

$\frac{13}{8} =1.625$

$\frac{13}{10} =1.3$

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

$1\frac{3}{10} , 1.6, 1\frac{5}{8}$

Descending order is

$1\frac{5}{8}, 1.6, 1\frac{3}{10}$
