Answer:

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 OR 2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1

We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least

The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers

So,

2/5 = 0.4

6/7 ≈ 0.857

5/8 = 0.625

1 = 1

So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:

0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1

So,

2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1

The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:

2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5

Zoe wants to make a driveway.

-Dominant- [34]

Well the volume of dirt she needs to remove is equal to length*width*height=6.2*4.9*0.225=6.8355

Now let's find how many bags she needs.

To solve for this, simply divide room in bags from total room.
6.8355/0.87=7.857

Thus Zoe has barely enough, but enough bags.
