Answer:
1) Yes
2) No
3) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
For 5/8ths, let's try to convert that to a fraction.
We know:
- 1/4 = 0.25 because 25 is 1/4 of a 100
- 1/2 = 0.50 or 0.5 because 50 is 1/2 or half of 100 or 1 in the real value.
What is half of 8? 4. So...
We know that our answer would be more than 0.5. Since we have 5/8, we have to figure out the value of 1/8.
We know 2/8 is 1/4 = 0.25, so we need to find 0.25 ÷ 2 = ?. The answer would be 0.125.
Now, 0.5 + 0.125 =
Answer: 0.625 (use standard algorithm)
Therefore, 1 5/8 is greater than 1.6. Or 0.625 (1 5/8) is greater than 0.6
2)
Since we know that 1/4 = 0.25, we will be able to solve this problem quickly.
0.25 x 3 because there are 3 of 1/4ths.
Answer:
0.75
Now...
0.75 + 3 = 3.75.
3.65 is less than 3.75
Therefore, 3 3/4 is not greater than 3.65.
3)
This problem will be fairly easy because all we need to find is the smallest fraction. The greater the number, the greater the negative and the lesser the value.
2/3 is greater than 3/4 because 3/4 is distributed into 4 and 2/3 is distributed into 3.
Therefore, -2/3 is greater than -3/4.
