Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

$\frac{3}{4},0.5,\frac{2}{3},\frac{7}{3},1.2$

Answer 1

Step 1: Express each term as decimal:

• $-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75$

• $0.5$
• $\frac{2}{3}=0.66......=0.\overline{6}$

• $\frac{7}{3}=-2.33......=-2.\overline{3}$

• $1.2$

Step 2: Order from least to greatest

$-2.\underline{3},-0.75,0.5,0.\underline{6},1.2$

$-\frac{7}{3},-\frac{3}{4},0.5,\frac{2}{3},1.2$

Hence, the Order from least to greatest is $-\frac{7}{3},-\frac{3}{4},0.5,\frac{2}{3},1.2$
