13.125
$13\frac{3}{4}$
$13\frac{3}{8}$ 13.125 $13\frac{3}{4}$
greatest least

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed numbers to decimals

$13\frac{3}{8}=13 + \frac{3}{8}=13 + 0.375=13.375$
$13\frac{3}{4}=13 + \frac{3}{4}=13 + 0.75=13.75$

Step2: List all values as decimals

Values: $13.5$, $13.375$, $13.125$, $13.75$

Step3: Sort from greatest to least

Compare decimal values: $13.75 > 13.5 > 13.375 > 13.125$

Step4: Map back to original forms

$13.75=13\frac{3}{4}$, $13.5=13.5$, $13.375=13\frac{3}{8}$, $13.125=13.125$

Answer:

Greatest to Least: $13\frac{3}{4}$, $13.5$, $13\frac{3}{8}$, $13.125$
