The correct order would be:
5/64 x 3, 1/16 x 3, 3/32 x 4, 11/64 x 4, 7/16 x 3, 3/4 x 2, 3/8 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4, 2.25 x 2, 1.5 x 4, 3 3/8 x 3, 3.75 x 3
First we have to take all of the numbers and do the multiplication. It's often easiest to turn them in to decimals so that you have a common form.
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
3.75 x 3 = 11.25
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
Now we can use those to put in order.
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
3.75 x 3 = 11.25

Answer:34
Step-by-step explanation:
4 bowls of pasta would be served for twelve people.
4×3=12
the number isn't large enough to round to the nearest ten thousandths.
that would be the 4th digit to the right of the decimal point, so we would need the 4th and 5th numbers to the right in order to round the answer.
This is a binomial probability situation, since a dog either is adopted or is not adopted. The chances of a dog's being adopted in 0.20. Here we're speaking of 9 visits. Thus, n=9, p=0.20.
One way of doing this problem is to calculate the probability that ONE dog will be adopted, and then that that TWO dogs will be adopted, and so on, up to NINE dogs. Add together these nine probabilities to get your answer.
But a better (faster) approach would be to calculate the probability that ZERO dogs will be adopted, and then to subtract this from 1.000.
Using my TI-84Plus calculator, I figured that P(0 dogs will be adopted) is binompdf(9,0.20,0), or 0.134. Subtracting this from 1.000, we get 0.866 (answer to this problem).
