Which comes first greatest to least 4 3/16, 4.44, 4 1/8, or 4
Change the fractions to decimals. You should be able to order them then.
4.44 is the biggest
4.44 , 4 1/8 , 4 3/16 , 4
To determine the order from greatest to least, we need to compare the given numbers. In this case, we have:
1. 4
2. 4 3/16
3. 4.44
4. 4 1/8
To compare these numbers, we need to convert them to a common format. Let's convert the mixed numbers (4 3/16 and 4 1/8) into improper fractions.
1. 4 remains as 4.
2. To convert 4 3/16 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator of the fraction (16) and add the numerator (3). This gives us (4 * 16) + 3 = 67. Therefore, 4 3/16 is equivalent to the improper fraction 67/16.
3. 4.44 remains as 4.44.
4. To convert 4 1/8 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator of the fraction (8) and add the numerator (1). This gives us (4 * 8) + 1 = 33. Therefore, 4 1/8 is equivalent to the improper fraction 33/8.
Now that we have all the numbers in the same format, we can easily compare them:
4 < 67/16 < 4.44 < 33/8
Therefore, the correct order from greatest to least is: 4.44, 33/8, 67/16, 4.
