Question

Order from least to greatest. 2.54, 20/ 9 , 32/ 15 , 2.62

Answer 1

32/15, 20/9, 2.54, 2.62

Answer 2

The required order is:
`(32)/(15)`,
`(20)/(9)`, 2.54, 2.62

Explanation:

Consider the provided numbers.

2.54, 20/ 9 , 32/ 15 , 2.62

To arrange the numbers least to greatest convert them in decimal form.

2.54

`(20)/(9)= 2.222..`

`(32)/(15)= 2.133..`

2.62

Now compare the numbers.

All the numbers have same ones place digit i.e 2.

So compare the tenths place digit

By the comparison we can concluded that Order from least to greatest is:

2.133.., 2.222.., 2.54, 2.62

Hence the required order is:
`(32)/(15)`,
`(20)/(9)`, 2.54, 2.62
