List these numbers from least to greatest
7/3, 3/4, 2/3, 0.5, 1.3
Turn into decimals then solve.
Do you know how to turn them into decimals?
yes - just divide as shown
7/3 = 2.33
3/4 = 0.75
and so on
To list these numbers from least to greatest:
1. Compare the whole numbers. In this case, there are no whole numbers, so we move to the next step.
2. For the numbers with the same whole number part, compare the parts after the decimal point or the numerator and denominator if they are fractions.
3. Convert all the numbers into the same format, either decimals or fractions, so that we can easily compare them.
Let's convert the fractions into decimals:
1. Convert 7/3 into a decimal: This can be done by dividing 7 by 3, so 7 ÷ 3 = 2.333 recurring.
2. Convert 3/4 into a decimal: Divide 3 by 4, so 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
3. Convert 2/3 into a decimal: Divide 2 by 3, so 2 ÷ 3 = 0.666 recurring.
Now, with the fractions converted into decimals, we can list the numbers from least to greatest:
0.5, 0.666 recurring, 0.75, 1.3, 2.333 recurring.
Therefore, the numbers listed from least to greatest are: 0.5, 0.666 recurring, 0.75, 1.3, 2.333 recurring.
