Monique measured the widths of several stamps in her collection of world stamps. The measurements are 1 5/8 * in * 0.1 * 11/16 * in , 1 3/4 * in and 1 What is the width of the widest stamp? (1 point) |1/2| | in.
To compare the widths of the stamps, we need to convert all the measurements to the same unit.
First, let's convert 1 5/8 in to a mixed number. Since 1 is the whole number part and there are 8 parts in 1 whole, we can write 1 5/8 as 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8 in.
Now, let's convert 11/16 in to the same denominator as 8 in. We can write 11/16 as 11/16 * 8/8 = 88/128 in.
Now, let's convert 1 3/4 in to a mixed number. Since 1 is the whole number part and there are 4 parts in 1 whole, we can write 1 3/4 as 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 in.
Now, we can compare the widths of the stamps: 13/8 in, 88/128 in, and 1 in.
To find the widest stamp, we need to find the largest measurement among these three.
To compare the measurements, we can convert them all to their decimal form.
13/8 in = 1.625 in
88/128 in = 0.6875 in
1 in = 1 in
The widest stamp has a width of 1.625 inches.
To find the width of the widest stamp, we need to compare the given measurements and determine the largest one.
First, we need to convert the measurements to a common denominator. The denominators in the measurements are 8 and 16. So, let's convert all the measurements to a denominator of 16.
Measurement 1: 1 5/8 inches = (1 * 16 + 5) / 8 = 21/8 inches
Measurement 2: 1 3/4 inches = (1 * 16 + 3) / 4 = 19/8 inches
Measurement 3: 1 inch = 16/16 inches
Now, we can compare these measurements to find the largest one.
21/8 inches is larger than 19/8 inches and 16/16 inches.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 21/8 inches, which can be simplified further.
To simplify 21/8, divide the numerator (21) by the denominator (8):
21 ÷ 8 = 2 remainder 5
So, the simplified fraction is 2 5/8 inches.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 2 5/8 inches.
To find the width of the widest stamp, we need to compare the measurements given and determine which one is the largest.
Let's break down the given measurements and convert them into a common format for easier comparison:
1 5/8 * in =
(1 + 5/8) * in =
(8/8 + 5/8) * in =
(13/8) * in
0.1 * 11/16 * in =
(0.1) * (11/16) * in =
(11/160) * in
1 * in = 1 * in
Now, let's compare these measurements:
(13/8) * in ≈ 1.625 * in
(11/160) * in ≈ 0.06875 * in
1 * in = 1 * in
So, the largest measurement is 1.625 inches.
