Order the following numbers from least to greatest: 0, 1/2, 0.25
0, 0.25, 1/2 MY GUESS
0.25,1/2, 0
1/2, 0, 0.25
2. Order the following numbers from least to greatest: 1.25, 6, 12/3
6, 12/3 1.25
6, 12/3, 1.25 MY GUESS
1.25, 12/3, 6
why are you guessing?
#1 is ok, but #2 is exactly backwards
To order numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare their values and arrange them accordingly. Here's how you can do it for each set of numbers:
1. For the numbers 0, 1/2, and 0.25:
- Start by comparing two of the numbers. For example, compare 0 and 1/2. Since 0 is smaller than 1/2, you know that 0 should come before 1/2 in the ordered list.
- Next, compare 0 and 0.25. Since 0 is also smaller than 0.25, it should come before 0.25 in the ordered list.
- Lastly, compare 1/2 and 0.25. 1/2 is greater than 0.25, so it should come after 0.25 in the ordered list.
- Putting it all together, the correct order is 0, 1/2, 0.25.
2. For the numbers 1.25, 6, and 12/3:
- Start by comparing two of the numbers. For example, compare 1.25 and 6. Since 1.25 is smaller than 6, you know that 1.25 should come before 6 in the ordered list.
- Next, compare 1.25 and 12/3. Convert 12/3 to the decimal form, which is 4. 1.25 is smaller than 4, so it should come before 12/3 (or 4) in the ordered list.
- Lastly, compare 6 and 12/3 (or 4). Since 4 is smaller than 6, it should come before 6 in the ordered list.
- Putting it all together, the correct order is 1.25, 12/3 (or 4), 6.
