Question

From least to greates -4 3/7, -4 5/6, -5 3/7, 4 2/7, 5 1/7

Answer 1

Answer:

The least number is - 5 3/7.

Then in order we have - 4 5/6.

- 4 3/7

4 2/7

And the greatest is 5 1/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's look for the least number of this set and then continue to order them until we find the greatest, this way:

The least number is - 5 3/7 because is the biggest negative number among the three given to us.

The second least number is - 4 5/6, that is < - 5 3/7 and > than - 4 3/7. Their whole number is the same but the fraction part is bigger: 5/6 > 3/7 or 0.83 > 0.42.

The third number is the only negative number remaining: - 4 3/7.

Now, the fourth term in order is 4 2/7, because it's < 5 1/7.

Finally, the greatest number of the set given to us is 5 1/7.
