Monique measured the widths of several stamps in her collection of world stamps. The measurements are 1 5/8in., 1 11/16in., 1 3/4in., and 1 1/2in. What is the width of the widest stamp?(1 point)
To compare the widths of the stamps, we convert them to a common denominator.
1 5/8in. = (8 * 1 + 5)/8 = 13/8in.
1 11/16in. = (16 * 1 + 11)/16 = 27/16in.
1 3/4in. = (4 * 1 + 3)/4 = 7/4in.
1 1/2in. = (2 * 1 + 1)/2 = 3/2in.
To compare the fractions, we can write them as decimals.
13/8in. = 1.625in.
27/16in. = 1.6875in.
7/4in. = 1.75in.
3/2in. = 1.5in.
Among these decimals, the highest value is 1.75in.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 1.75 inches.

Well, Monique certainly doesn't have the stamp with the width of a mile! But let's take a look at those measurements.
The widest width is definitely 1 and 3/4 inches. So, the width of the widest stamp in Monique's collection is 1 and 3/4 inches.
To find the width of the widest stamp, you need to compare the measurements given.
First, convert all fractions to a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 16.
1 5/8in = (16/16) + (10/16) = 26/16in
1 11/16in = (16/16) + (11/16) = 27/16in
1 3/4in = (16/16) + (12/16) = 28/16in
1 1/2in = (16/16) + (8/16) = 24/16in
Now, compare the measurements and identify the largest value:
The measurements are as follows:
1 5/8in = 26/16in
1 11/16in = 27/16in
1 3/4in = 28/16in
1 1/2in = 24/16in
The largest measurement is 28/16in, which is equal to 1 3/4in.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 1 3/4 inches.
To find the width of the widest stamp, we need to compare the measurements provided.
The measurements given are:
1 5/8in., 1 11/16in., 1 3/4in., and 1 1/2in.
To compare these measurements, we can convert all the measurements to the same denominator, which is 16 since it is the least common denominator among all the fractions.
The measurements in the same denominator are:
26/16in., 27/16in., 28/16in., and 24/16in.
Now, we can see that the widest stamp is the one with the highest numerator, which is 28/16in. Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 28/16 inches.
If you need the answer in mixed number form, you can simplify the fraction 28/16 to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
28 รท 16 = 1 remainder 12
So the mixed number form of 28/16 is 1 12/16 inches.
However, if you reduce the fraction 28/16, you can simplify it further:
28/16 = 7/4
In this case, the width of the widest stamp is 7/4 inches.
