The greatest numerator that Phillip wrote is:

D. 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in mixed fractions are as follows:

3 1/5, 3 1/7, 5 1/8, and 1 5/6.

Now, on writing these mixed fractions in the form of a/b we have:

$3\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3\times 5+1}{5}\\\\3\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{16}{5}$

$3\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{3\times 7+1}{5}\\\\3\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{22}{5}$

$5\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5\times 8+1}{8}\\\\5\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{41}{8}$

$1\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{1\times 6+5}{6}\\\\1\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{11}{6}$

Hence, the greatest numerator is: 41

Option: D is the correct answer.
