Arrange the following numbers from least to greatest:
-6 3/4, -6.6, -5 5/8, 5.8, 27/5
Answer (2)
− 6 4 3 = − 6.75 ; 5 27 = 5 5 2 = 5.4 ; − 5 8 5 = − 5.625 t h ere f ore w e ha v e : − 6.6 ; 5.8 ; − 6.75 ; 5.4 ; − 5.625 3 n e g a t i v e n u mb ers an d 2 p os i t i v e n u mb ers co m p a re t h e n e g a t i v e n u mb ers : − 6.75 < − 6.6 < − 5.625 co m p a re t h e p os i t i v e n u mb ers : 5.4 < 5.8 A n s w er : − 6 4 3 < − 6.6 < − 5 8 5 < 5 27 < 5.8
The numbers arranged from least to greatest are: -6 3/4, -6.6, -5 5/8, 27/5, and 5.8. In decimal form, this becomes -6.75 < -6.6 < -5.625 < 5.4 < 5.8. Therefore, the correct order is -6 3/4 < -6.6 < -5 5/8 < 27/5 < 5.8.
