put those in order from greatest to least 5 3/8, 4 7/10, 4.81

1 answer

To compare the numbers \(5 \frac{3}{8}\), \(4 \frac{7}{10}\), and \(4.81\), we can convert them all to decimal form.

  1. Convert \(5 \frac{3}{8}\): \[ 5 \frac{3}{8} = 5 + \frac{3}{8} = 5 + 0.375 = 5.375 \]

  2. Convert \(4 \frac{7}{10}\): \[ 4 \frac{7}{10} = 4 + \frac{7}{10} = 4 + 0.7 = 4.7 \]

  3. The number \(4.81\) is already in decimal form.

Now we have:

  • \(5.375\)
  • \(4.7\)
  • \(4.81\)

Now, let's put these in order from greatest to least:

  1. \(5.375\) (which is \(5 \frac{3}{8}\))
  2. \(4.81\)
  3. \(4.7\) (which is \(4 \frac{7}{10}\))

So, the order from greatest to least is:

  1. \(5 \frac{3}{8}\)
  2. \(4.81\)
  3. \(4 \frac{7}{10}\)
