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.

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=3*width=3*x=3x
Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =3x-4
This is the required equation.
