Question

the weights of four kittens are shown in pounds. 8.6, 8\frac{5}{8}, 8.72, 8\frac{3}{4} which list shows these weights in order from greatest to least? f 8\frac{3}{4}, 8.72, 8\frac{5}{8}, 8.6 g 8.72, 8\frac{3}{4}, 8\frac{5}{8}, 8.6 h 8.6, 8\frac{5}{8}, 8\frac{3}{4}, 8.72 j 8\frac{5}{8}, 8.72, 8\frac{3}{4}, 8.6

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fractions to decimals

$8\frac{3}{4} = 8 + \frac{3}{4} = 8.75$, $8\frac{5}{8} = 8 + \frac{5}{8} = 8.625$

Step2: List all weights as decimals

$8.6$, $8.625$, $8.72$, $8.75$

Step3: Sort from greatest to least

Compare values: $8.75 > 8.72 > 8.625 > 8.6$

Step4: Match to original forms

$8\frac{3}{4} > 8.72 > 8\frac{5}{8} > 8.6$

Answer:

J. $8\frac{3}{4}$, $8.72$, $8\frac{5}{8}$, $8.6$
