Determine the maximum and minimum values of the following set of numbers.

3,17/9,-9,-17/10, 1/9,-6,19/6

We will be glad to critique your work. Surely you have some idea already.

Does this mean putting them in order from max to least?

Is min:-9, max:3???? I get so confused with fractions.

Yes, you're right. :-)

To determine the maximum and minimum values of a set of numbers, you need to compare each number in the set.

Let's analyze the given set of numbers:
3, 17/9, -9, -17/10, 1/9, -6, 19/6

To find the maximum value, you will look for the largest number in the set.

Starting with the first number, 3, you would compare it with each subsequent number in the set.

In this case, the largest number is 19/6.

To find the minimum value, you will look for the smallest number in the set.

Starting with the first number, 3, you would compare it with each subsequent number in the set.

In this case, the smallest number is -9.

Therefore, the maximum value is 19/6, and the minimum value is -9.
