Which of the following values is the greatest?

A. 7/3

B. 5.2

C. 13/3

D. 5.15

Answer Explanation:

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

5.2 becomes 52/10

5.15 becomes 515/100

Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.

7/3*300=700

52/10*300=1560

13/3*300=1300

515/100*300=1545

From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
