Answer 1

Answer:

To answer this question, you need to makes the unit of the smartphone screen same. In this case, phone A is using decimal and phone B is using a fraction. You can use which was easier.

Let's try to use decimal. Then you need to convert phone B fraction width into decimal width. The calculation would be: 5cm + 1/3cm= 5 cm + 0.333cm= 5.333cm

From here it clear that phone B has a wider screen than phone A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The screen of phone B is wider because $5\frac{1}{3}$  is greater than 5.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The width of screen of phone A=5.3 cm

The width of screen of phone B=$5\frac{1}{3}$ cm

We have to find the statement explains which phone has the wider screen.

The width of screen of phone B=$5+\frac{1}{3}$ cm

The width of screen of phone B=$5+0.33$ cm

The width of screen of phone B=5.33 cm

Now, we make first like decimal number and then  we will compare.

Now, write zero at end of number in 5.3

Then, the number becomes 5.30 .

The hundredth part 3 in  5.33 is greater than hundredth part 0 of 5.30.

Therefore, 5.33 >5.30

Hence, the screen of phone B is wider because $5\frac{1}{3}$ >5.3.
