Question

Andrea has 3 7/8 yards of purple ribbon, 3.7 yards of pink ribbon and 3 4/5 of blue ribbon. List the numbers in order from least to greatest.

Answer 1

3 7/8 = 3.875
3.7
3 4/5 = 3.8

least to greatest : 3.7, 3 4/5, 3 7/8

Answer 2

Answer:

3.7 > $3\frac{4}{5}$ > $3\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrea has $3\frac{7}{8}$ yards of purple ribbon.

That means length of purple ribbon is = 3 + $\frac{7}{8}$ yards

                         In decimals length is = (3 + 0.875)

                                                            = 3.875 yards

She has $3\frac{4}{5}$ yards of blue ribbon.

So the length of blue ribbon on decimals will be = 3 + $\frac{4}{5}$

                                                                              = 3.8 yards

And third ribbon of pink color with the length = 3.7 yards

Therefore, the increasing order of the lengths of the ribbons will be

3.7 > 3.8 > 3.875 OR

3.7 > $3\frac{4}{5}$ > $3\frac{7}{8}$ yards (Pink > blue > purple)
