To compare the width of each stamp, we need to convert all the measurements to the same units. We can convert each measurement to a common denominator of 16, and then compare them.
The measurements in a common denominator of 16 are:
1 5/8 = 13/8
1 11/16 = 17/16
1 3/4 = 14/8
1 1/2 = 12/8
The widest stamp has a width of 17/16 in.
Monique measured the widths of several stamps in her collection of world stamps. The measurements are 1 5/8, 1 11/16 in., 1 3/4 in., and 1 1/2 in. What is the width of the widest stamp?(1 point)
