tion (3x7) even though the order is “M”, “D” in the acronym?

Because is division is before multiplication you have to do division even though the m is before d.

Is 1 5/8 greater than, less than, or equal to 1.6?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$1 \frac{5}{8} > 1.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 \frac{5}{8} \: ... \: 1.6$

$\frac{1 \times 8 + 5}{8} \: ... \: 1.6$

$\frac{8 + 5}{8} \: ... \: 1.6$

$\frac{13}{8} \: ... \: 1.6$

$\frac{13}{8} \: ... \: \frac{16}{10}$

$\frac{13 \times 5}{8 \times 5} \: ... \: \frac{16 \times 4}{10 \times 4}$

$\frac{65}{40} \: ... \: \frac{64}{40}$

$\frac{65}{40} > \frac{64}{40}$
