Four people have found the distance in kilometers across a small bridge using different methods. There are results given in the table. Order the distances from least to greatest.
To order the distances from least to greatest, we need to compare the numerical values given in the table:
Method | Distance (km)
-------|--------------
Method 1 | 3.5
Method 2 | 4.2
Method 3 | 4.9
Method 4 | 3.8
From the table, the distances in kilometers across the small bridge in ascending order are:
3.5 km, 3.8 km, 4.2 km, 4.9 km.
5.5 23/4
To compare the distances 5.5 and 23/4 (or 5.75), we need to convert 23/4 to a decimal.
To convert 23/4 to a decimal, we divide 23 by 4:
23 รท 4 = 5.75
Now we can order the distances from least to greatest:
5.5, 5.75
