Answer:
Descending order:
14560g
13.6kg
13.25kg
12000g
a.) [tex]\frac{18}{5}[/tex]
b.) [tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the difference between kg or g, either divide kg by 100 to convert to g, or multiply g by 1000 to convert to kg.
If we were to put everything into g:
14560g
13600g
13250g
12000g
See how they are still in the correct order?
If we were to put everything into kg:
14.56kg
13.6kg
13.25kg
12kg
Still in descending order!

Now to find out how to put the decimals into fractions:
Multiply by 10 (since there is only 1 digit behind the decimal, for every digit behind the decimal you multiply by another factor of 10, so if you have 2.55 you multiply by 100)
Following this we get:
36
125
Now divide by the same factor (10), we can't change the value of the number, just the way they look!
[tex]\frac{36}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{125}{10}[/tex]
All that's left is it reduce!
[tex]\frac{18}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
And as you can see, we are back to the number I had put in the solution!
