Question

Order these numbers from least to greatest. 143 7 7.116, 6.67 20

Answer 1

We are given the following numbers

`7(1)/(9),\: 7.116,\: (143)/(20),\: 6.67`

We are asked to arrange these numbers from least to greatest.

As you can see, the numbers are in different forms (decimal, fraction)

So, first we need to convert them into a single form then we can compare them

Let us convert all the numbers into decimals

`\begin{gathered} 7(1)/(9)=(7\cdot9+1)/(9)=(63+1)/(9)=(64)/(9)=7.111 \\ (143)/(20)=7.15 \end{gathered}`

So the order from least to greatest is

6.67, 7.111, 7.116, 7.15

Now write the numbers in their original form
