Order the numbers in each exercise from LEAST to GREATEST
1.) -1 2/3, 1.6, -1 4/5
My answer: -1 4/5, -1 2/3, 1.6
2.) 7/9, -0.8, The square root of 3
My answer: -0.8, 7/9, The square root of 3
Am I right? I'm not so sure about 1.) Thanks!
1 4/5 = 1.8
1 2/3 = 1.67
2 is right.
To order the numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare their values.
For exercise 1):
-1 2/3 can be written as -5/3, and -1 4/5 can be written as -9/5.
Now you have the values -5/3, 1.6, and -9/5.
Converting 1.6 to fraction form, you get 8/5.
Now, comparing the fractions, you can see that -9/5 is the smallest, followed by -5/3, and then 8/5.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is: -1 4/5, -1 2/3, 1.6.
For exercise 2):
You have three numbers: 7/9, -0.8, and the square root of 3.
Convert -0.8 to fraction form: -0.8 can be written as -8/10, which simplifies to -4/5.
Now you have the values 7/9, -4/5, and the square root of 3.
Comparing the fractions, you can see that -4/5 is the smallest, followed by 7/9.
The square root of 3 cannot be precisely written as a fraction, so we keep it as it is.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is: -0.8, 7/9, √3.
Your order for exercise 1 is correct: -1 4/5, -1 2/3, 1.6.
Your order for exercise 2 is also correct: -0.8, 7/9, √3.
