Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Write $$ \frac{13}{4} $$ as a decimal:
   $$
   \frac{13}{4} = 3.25
   $$
   
2. Convert the mixed number $$3\frac{3}{5}$$ to an improper fraction:
   $$
   3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{15 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5}
   $$
   Then convert it to a decimal:
   $$
   \frac{18}{5} = 3.6
   $$

3. Compare the two values:
   $$
   3.25 \quad \text{and} \quad 3.6
   $$
   Since $$3.6 > 3.25$$, we have:
   $$
   3\frac{3}{5} > \frac{13}{4}
   $$
   
Thus, $$ 3\frac{3}{5} $$ is greater than $$ \frac{13}{4} $$.
$$ 3\frac{3}{5} $$ is greater than $$ \frac{13}{4} $$.
