Question

List the fractions and decimals in order from least to greatest: -0.6,-5/8,-7/17,-0.72

Answer 1

First, let's convert all of these numbers to decimal form:

(This will make it much easier to compare.)

- 0.6, - 0.625, - 0.4117, - 0.72

Now we can list them from least to greatest!

-0.4117, - 0.6, -0.625, -0.72

And don't forget to convert the selective decimals that we converted earlier back into fractions!

Therefore, the final list would be:
- 7/17, - 0.6, - 5/8, - 0.72

Hope this helps!
