Which of the following values is the greatest?
A.
7/3
B.
5.2
C.
13/3
D.
5.15
To determine which value is the greatest, let’s first convert all of the fractions to decimal form:
- A. 7/3:7÷3=2.333‾7 \div 3 = 2.33\overline{3}7÷3=2.333(approximately 2.33)
- B. 5.2: This is already in decimal form.
- C. 13/3:13÷3=4.333‾13 \div 3 = 4.33\overline{3}13÷3=4.333(approximately 4.33)
- D. 5.15: This is already in decimal form.
Now let’s compare the values:
- 2.33
- 5.2
- 4.33
- 5.15
The greatest value among these is 5.2.
So, the correct answer is:
B. 5.2
