Answer 1

To help Monique analyze the widths of her stamps, let's first convert each measurement into a more standard format (in inches).

Here are the measurements:

1. 158 1/8 in.

   • This is already in a standard mixed number format.

2. 111 16/16 in.

   • Since \(16/16\) is equivalent to 1, we can simplify this: \[ 111 + 1 = 112 \text{ in.} \]

3. 134 1/4 in.

   • This is also in a standard mixed number format.

4. 112 1/2 in.

   • This is in a standard mixed number format as well.

Now, let's list the measurements clearly:

1. 158 1/8 in.
2. 112 in. (from the previous calculation)
3. 134 1/4 in.
4. 112 1/2 in.

Summary of Measurements

1. 158.125 in. (for 158 1/8 in.)
2. 112.0 in. (for 112 in.)
3. 134.25 in. (for 134 1/4 in.)
4. 112.5 in. (for 112 1/2 in.)

If you need further calculations or operations such as finding the average width, identifying the largest or smallest measurement, or something else, please let me know!
