Answer:

[tex]18\frac{5}{8} > 18\frac{9}{16} > 18\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  =  Trent > Mark > Julio =  In order from 1st place to 3rd place.

What is a mixed fraction?

A fraction is represented with its quotient and the remainder is a mixed fraction.

example:  [tex]a\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

where "a" is a quotient, "b" is a remainder and "c" is a divisor.

In this case:

we first solve each mixed fraction,

For Mark =  (16x18+9)/16  = 18.5625

For Julio = (18x2+1)/2  =  18.50

For  Trent = (18x8+5)/8 =  18.625

so,  Trent > Mark > Julio
