Monique measured the widths of several stamps in her collection of world stamps. The measurements are 1 5/8 * in * 0.1 * 11/16 * in , 1 3/4 * in and 1 What is the width of the widest stamp? (1 point) |1/2| | in.

Answer 1

To compare the widths of the stamps, we need to convert all the measurements to the same unit.

First, let's convert 1 5/8 in to a mixed number. Since 1 is the whole number part and there are 8 parts in 1 whole, we can write 1 5/8 as 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8 in.

Now, let's convert 11/16 in to the same denominator as 8 in. We can write 11/16 as 11/16 * 8/8 = 88/128 in.

Now, let's convert 1 3/4 in to a mixed number. Since 1 is the whole number part and there are 4 parts in 1 whole, we can write 1 3/4 as 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 in.

Now, we can compare the widths of the stamps: 13/8 in, 88/128 in, and 1 in.

To find the widest stamp, we need to find the largest measurement among these three.

To compare the measurements, we can convert them all to their decimal form.

13/8 in = 1.625 in
88/128 in = 0.6875 in
1 in = 1 in

The widest stamp has a width of 1.625 inches.
