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 need to convert all the measurements into the same format. Let's convert them into sixteenths of an inch:
1 5/8in. = (1 * 16 + 5) / 8 = 13/8in. = 26/16in.
1 11/16in. = (1 * 16 + 11) / 16 = 27/16in.
1 3/4in. = (1 * 16 + 12) / 16 = 28/16in.
1 1/2in. = (1 * 16 + 8) / 16 = 24/16in.
The widest stamp is the one with the greatest width, and the greatest value 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 given measurements and determine which one is the largest.
Let's compare the measurements:
1 5/8 = 1.625
1 11/16 = 1.6875
1 3/4 = 1.75
1 1/2 = 1.5
The largest measurement is 1 3/4 inches or 1.75 inches.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 1.75 inches.
To find the width of the widest stamp, you need to compare the measurements of each stamp and determine which one is the largest.
Let's convert all the measurements to a common denominator to make comparison easier. The common denominator we can use is 16.
1 5/8in. = (16 × 1 + 8) / 16 = 16/16 + 8/16 = 24/16
1 11/16in. = (16 × 1 + 11) / 16 = 16/16 + 11/16 = 27/16
1 3/4in. = (16 × 1 + 12) / 16 = 16/16 + 12/16 = 28/16
1 1/2in. = (16 × 1 + 8) / 16 = 16/16 + 8/16 = 24/16
Now that we have all the measurements in the form of a fraction, we can compare them. The largest measurement is 28/16 which corresponds to 1 3/4 inches.
Therefore, the width of the widest stamp is 1 3/4 inches.
