Example Questions
Example Question #1 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Which decimal is the greatest?
When evaluating, we look at each choice.
It seems like when dividing with a decimal, our value is greater. Therefore is our answer.
Example Question #6 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Which is the smallest?
When evaluating, we look at each choice.
Our answer is being the smallest.
Example Question #7 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
If is from which is the greatest?
The numbers are from to . This means the values are decimals and will be small if raised to any power but greater when multiplied or added.
Ex:
Our answer is going to be .
Example Question #11 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
If is from , which of the following is the greatest?
Since the range is from to , we have negative decimals. We need to see if any operations will generate positive decimals. Only does that as two negatives becomes positive when multiplied.
Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from smallest to greatest.
To rank, we check the tenths digit. are the smallest in the set.
Next, we look at the hundredths digit. is greater than , so the rank is .
Since the next three numbers have differnt tenths digit, we just put in numerical order.
Final answer should be
.
Example Question #11 : Ordering
Which decimal is the GREATEST?
The tenths digits are different. , , and are clearly bigger than the other two.
So now, we compare the remaining decimals.
, are exacty the same decimal with just more zeroes.
is clearly the biggest as it is much bigger.
Example Question #91 : Decimals
Which decimal is the LEAST?
By looking at the tenths digit, are smaller than the other two.
Next, we look at the digits afterwards. is clearly the smallest out of the rest.
The others have more precise decimal places.
Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from smallest to greatest.
Since each decimal have the same tenths digit, we compare the hundredths digit. is the greatest of all decimals in the set since the rest have as the hundredths digit.
Next, we compare the rest.
The more s there are, the more precise the decimal.
is the order.
The final order is
.
Example Question #13 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from least to greatest.
When dealing with negative numbers, remember the largest decimal is the least value which will be since their tenths digit is greater than the rest.
The rest of the order will be .
The hundredths digit in is greater than the rest.
So our order is
.
Example Question #14 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Which decimal is the greatest?
There is a in front of most decimals except which makes the rest bigger than this decimal.
Next, the ones with less zeroes means the value is bigger and further than .
We have a decimal with zeroes, another with zeroes, and lastly with zeroes.
The one with zeroes is the greatest decimal.
That value is .
