san you help me with this 2.7,2 1/7,3.13,1 9/10 numder least to greateat
First, let's change the fractions to decimals.
2 1/7 = 2.14
1 9/10 = 1.90
2.70
2.14
3.13
1.90
Next -- we look at the number before the decimal. Obviously, 1.9 is first and 3.13 is last.
Finally, arrange these two in their correct order: 2.70 and 2.14. This time look at the number after the decimal.
What do you think is the correct order?
Please post your answer, and we'll be glad to check it.
this helped me lmao
To order these numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare their values.
Let's start with the given numbers:
2.7, 2 1/7, 3.13, and 1 9/10.
To compare numbers with decimals and fractions, it's helpful to convert them to either all decimals or all fractions.
Let's convert the mixed number 2 1/7 to a decimal.
To convert the mixed number to a decimal, you need to add the whole number part to the fraction part. So, 2 + 1/7 = 2 + 0.142857 (approximately) = 2.142857.
Now let's convert the mixed number 1 9/10 to a decimal.
1 + 9/10 = 1 + 0.9 = 1.9.
Now we have the numbers in decimal form:
2.7, 2.142857, 3.13, and 1.9.
To order them from least to greatest, we can simply compare the values:
1.9 < 2.7 < 2.142857 < 3.13.
Therefore, the numbers in order from least to greatest are:
1 9/10, 2.7, 2 1/7, and 3.13.
