Question

The wingspans of a butterfly is 1 9/16 inches. the wingspan of another butterfly is 1.625 inches. write an inequality comparing the two wingspans.

please help soon

Answer 1

We can convert 1.625 to a fractional value. 0.625 = 5/8 = 10/16. Therefore, this means that 1.625 = 1 and 10/16, which is greater than 1 and 9/16. We can say that the wingspan of the second butterfly is larger than the wingspan of the first butterfly. The inequality can be written as:
1.625 > 1 9/16
