Question

Which set of numbers is correctly ordered from greatest to least?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the corrected question and options:

Option 1:

$7\frac{1}{3} , \frac{221}{30} , 7.36, 3.16\sqrt{2e}$

Option 2:

$7\frac{1}{3} , 7.36 , \frac{221}{30} , 3.16\sqrt{2e}$

Option 3:

$3.16\sqrt{2e}, 7.36 , \frac{221}{30} , 7\frac{1}{3}$

Option 4:

$3.16\sqrt{2e}, \frac{221}{30} , 7.36 , 7\frac{1}{3}$

Solution:

Lets write each of the above given numbers in a simplified form:

$7\frac{1}{3}$

Simplify this by converting it into a decimal form:

This becomes:

(3*7+1) / 3 = (21 + 1) / 3 = 22/3 = 7.333333

So

$7\frac{1}{3}$ = 7.3

$\frac{221}{30}$

Simplify this by converting it into a decimal form:

This becomes:

221/30 = 7.3666666667

So,

$\frac{221}{30}$ = 7.367

$7.36$

This number comes with a bar sign on .36 which means that the number has a non terminating repeating decimal expansion as 7.3636363636...

So after rounding it off this becomes:

7.36

$3.16\sqrt{2e}$

Simplify this by converting it into a decimal form:

The value of e = 2.718

This becomes:

3.16 $\sqrt{2*2.718}$

= 3.16 (√5.436)

= 3.16 * 2.331523

=  7.3679949818

= 7.368

So

$3.16\sqrt{2e}$ = 7.368

7.367995

Now we get the numbers in decimal form:

$7\frac{1}{3}$ = 7.333333 = 7.3

$\frac{221}{30}$ = 7.3666666667 = 7.367

7.36 = 7.3636363636

$3.16\sqrt{2e}$ = 7.3679949818 = 7.368

Now lets order the numbers from greatest to least:

$3.16\sqrt{2e}$

$\frac{221}{30}$

7.36

$7\frac{1}{3}$

So the correct option is:

Option 4

$3.16\sqrt{2e}, \frac{221}{30} , 7.36 , 7\frac{1}{3}$
