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.
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.
