Question

Order from least to greatest -10 1/5, 10.19, -10 2/11, -10.20

Answer 1

-10.2, -10.18, 10.19

Explanation:

• it will be easier if we make all the denominators of the same and then compare or we can also convert each fraction into decimal.

• here , the fractions are given in this form :
  `a(b)/(c)`

• that can also be written as :
  `((a)c+b)/(c)`

• by converting them into decimals,

• -10 1/5 = 51/5 = -10.2

• -10 2/11=0.181818... = -10.18[approx]

• point to be remembered : in negative numbers, with increasing magnitude, the value decreases because it will have negative sign.

• so, the given numbers are : -10.2 , 10.19 , -10.18, -10.20 ( first and last numbers are the same)

• so, increasing order : -10.2, -10.18, 10.19
