Order the numbers below from least to greatest.
1/4, -3, √5, -3/2, 4.7
-3, -3/2, 1/4, √5, 4.7
To order the numbers from least to greatest, let's start by converting all the numbers to a common format:
-3 = -3/1
√5 = approximately 2.236
-3/2 = -1.5
4.7 = 4.7/1
Now, let's start ordering:
-3 < -3/2 < 1/4 < 2.236 < 4.7
So, the numbers in order from least to greatest are:
-3, -3/2, 1/4, √5, 4.7
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we can follow a simple step-by-step process:
Step 1: Convert any fractions or square roots into decimal form for easier comparison.
Let's convert the given numbers into decimal form:
1/4 = 0.25
-3/2 = -1.5
√5 ≈ 2.236 (approximately, since √5 is an irrational number)
-3 remains the same
4.7 remains the same
Now we have the following decimal values:
0.25, -3, 2.236, -1.5, 4.7
Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order from least to greatest.
The numbers in ascending order will be:
-3, -1.5, 0.25, 2.236, 4.7
So the numbers, from least to greatest, are -3, -1.5, 0.25, 2.236, 4.7.
