Fluffy is 9 9/16 lbs
Whiskers is 9 7/8 lbs
Mr. Nibbles is 9.75 lbs
Let’s first convert the fraction 7/8 to compliment the fraction 9/16:
7/8 = 14/16
9 7/8 is now 9 14/16, which is heavier than Fluffy’s weight.
Now that we know that, let’s convert .75 into a fraction:
.75 = 3/4
Make 3/4 compliment the other fractions:
3/4= 12/16
Let’s look at the weights now:
Fluffy: 9 9/16 lbs
Whiskers: 9 14/16 lbs
Mr. Nibbles: 9 12/16 lbs
Having a common denominator for all fractions makes it easier to determine how big or small the numbers are.
So, the order from heaviest to least heavy is:
Whiskers, Mr. Nibbles, Fluffy
