I need to put these in order from least to greatest.
0.42, -1/2, 11/20, and 0.51
I just have to keep them as they are. Decimals stay decimals and fractions stay as fractions...
To put the given numbers in order from least to greatest, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the fractions to decimals for easier comparison.
First, let's convert the fractional numbers -1/2 and 11/20 into decimals.
To convert -1/2 into a decimal, divide -1 by 2:
-1 Γ· 2 = -0.5
To convert 11/20 into a decimal, divide 11 by 20:
11 Γ· 20 = 0.55
Now we have the decimals: -0.5, 0.42, 0.55, and 0.51.
Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
From the decimals we obtained, we can now put the numbers in order from least to greatest:
-0.5, 0.42, 0.51, 0.55
Therefore, the numbers arranged from least to greatest, without changing the format of decimals and fractions, are:
-1/2, 0.42, 0.51, 11/20
First off, convert them all to decimals, it will make it a ton more easier that way. (0.42, -0.5, 0.55, 0.51.) Now, order them from least to greatest. (-0.5, 0.42, 0.51, 0.55.) Finally, (if required) turn them back to their original form from least to greatest. (-1/2, 0.42, 0.51, 11/20.)
Hope this helped! -ππππππΎππ
