Asked by harveylafradez

Answer (3)

7/24=0.29166666666666666666666666666667 and 5/16=.3125--> so the answer is 5 5/16 (note you can solve the problem by just seeing)

5\16 because 7/24 has more leftover so that is going to be less

The mixed number 5 16 5 ​ is greater than 5 24 7 ​ because, after converting both to improper fractions, 16 85 ​ is larger than 24 127 ​ .
