Question

Which number is greater 5.5 53/4

Answer 1

To compare the numbers 5.5 and \( \frac{53}{4} \), we will first convert \( \frac{53}{4} \) into a decimal.

Dividing 53 by 4:

\[
\frac{53}{4} = 13.25
\]

Now we can compare the two numbers:

- 5.5 (which is equal to \( 5.50 \))
- 13.25

Since \( 13.25 \) is greater than \( 5.5 \), we conclude that:

\[
\frac{53}{4} \text{ (or 13.25) is greater than } 5.5.
\]
