Margo lists the sizes, inches, of set of screws: 9/64, 5/32, 1/16, 1/8. She reasons that because the denominators are in order from greatest to least, the list is in order from least to greatest. Is Margo correct? Why or why not ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I think she is incorrect she need to change all the fractions to the same denominators

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to change all the fractions to 64

9/64 stays the same

5/32 multiply 2    then 10/64

1/16 multiply by 4 then 4/64

1/8 multiply by 8  then 8/64

Now we can order then

5/32 > 9/64 > 1/8 > 1/16 This is the right order

She was wrong.
