When I think about average with consecutive numbers, I think that it’s also the median. Let’s check.
If 12 is the median, there’s two numbers that are less than it and two that are more.
The list would be:
10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Let’s check to see if the average is 12. To find average, you have to add all the numbers together and then divide that number by the quantity of numbers in the list.
10+11+12+13+14=60
Now divide it by 5.
60/5=12
So, the largest number is 14.
When comparing, think of the signs as a crocodile. A crocodile will want to eat greater (bigger) numbers than smaller numbers. So, you can think of it as that way.
2. 0.5 < 0.8 ... 0.8 is greater than 0.5
5. 0.7 = 0.70 ... This is same. 0.70 just has an extra 0 which you don't need.
8. 2.9 > 2.8 ... 2.9 is greater since 9 is bigger than 8.
11. 0.65 > 0.36 ... 65 is greater than 36. Therefore, 0.65 is greater.
14. 4.50 > 4.05 ... 4.50 has a five in the tenth place. 4.05 has five in the hundredth place.
17. 6.01 < 6.1 ... 6.1 has a one in the tenth place. 6.01 has a one in the hundredth place.
