Example Question #6 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least

Put the following in order of least to greatest:

$0.28, \frac{6}{19}, \frac{29}{104}, 0.27,\frac{7}{26}$

Possible Answers:

$0.27, 0.28, \frac{7}{26}, \frac{29}{104}, \frac{6}{19}$

$\frac{7}{26}, 0.27, 0.28, \frac{29}{104}, \frac{6}{19}$

$\frac{7}{26}, \frac{29}{104}, 0.27, 0.28, \frac{6}{19}$

$0.27, \frac{7}{26}, \frac{29}{104}, 0.28, \frac{6}{19}$

None of the other answers

Correct answer:

None of the other answers

Explanation:

Begin by converting each fraction into a decimal:

$\frac{6}{19}\approx 0.3157$

$\frac{29}{104}\approx0.2788$

$\frac{7}{26}\approx0.269$

Now we can put the decimals in order:

0.269, 0.27, 0.2788, 0.28, 0.3157

or:

$\frac{7}{26}, 0.27, \frac{29}{104}, 0.28, \frac{6}{19}$

No answer choice matches this order, so our answer is "None of the other answers"

Example Question #5 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least

Order the decimals from least to greatest. a=[0.2, 0.03,-2,-2.2]

Possible Answers:

a=[0.03,0.2,-2,-2.2]

a=[-2,-2.2,0.2, 0.03]

a=[-2.2,-2, 0.03,0.2]

a=[-2,-2.2, 0.03,0.2]

a=[-2,-2.2,0.2,0.03]

Correct answer:

a=[-2.2,-2, 0.03,0.2]

Explanation:

The higher negative numbers will be the least numbers.

Start with the negative numbers first.

-2.2 , -2

The smaller of the two positive decimals is 0.03 .

Order from least to greatest.

The answer is: a=[-2.2,-2, 0.03,0.2]

Example Question #1 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least

Which decimal is the greatest?

Possible Answers:

$0.1^{2}$

$\frac{1}{0.1}$

0.1*2

$\frac{0.1}{2}$

0.1

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{0.1}$

Explanation:

When evaluating, we look at each choice.

0.1^2=0.01

$\frac{1}{0.1}=10$

0.1=0.1

0.1*2=0.2

$\frac{0.1}{2}=0.05$

It seems like when dividing with a decimal, our value is greater. Therefore $\frac{1}{0.1}$ is our answer.

Example Question #6 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least

Which is the smallest?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{0.245}$

0.245*3

0.245+0.245+0.00000003

0.245^2

$\frac{0.245}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{0.245}{5}$

Explanation:

When evaluating, we look at each choice.

.245^2=0.060025

$\frac{.245}{5}=.049$

.245*3=.735

.245+.245+.00000003=.49000003

$\frac{5}{.245}=20.41$

Our answer is $\frac{.245}{5}$ being the smallest.
