Question

Mondo correctly finds the closest benchmarks for three numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

From greatest to least, the order is:

$3.8,\ 3\frac{4}{9},\ 3\frac{6}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Closest\ Benchmark \to Number$

$3\frac{6}{25} \to 3$

$3\frac{4}{9} \to 4$

Required

Order $3\frac{6}{25}, 3.8, 3\frac{4}{9}$ from greatest to least

From the given parameters, we have:

$3\frac{6}{25} \to 3$

$3\frac{4}{9} \to 4$

This implies that:

$3\frac{4}{9}\ >\ 3\frac{6}{25}$ --- we know this from the nearest benchmark

Convert $3\frac{4}{9}$ to decimal

$3\frac{4}{9} = 3.44$

By comparison;

$3.8 >\ 3\frac{4}{9}$

Hence, the list is:

$3.8,\ 3\frac{4}{9},\ 3\frac{6}{25}$
