Question

√3, 2, −6/7, −1, −6/5

Put the numbers in ascending order.

A) √3, 2, -6/7, -1, -6/5

B) -6/5, -1, -6/7, √3, 2

C) 2, √3, -6/7, -1, -6/5

D) -6/7, -1, -6/5, √3, 2

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B

EXPLANATION

Ascending order means from the least to the highest

We can compare these numbers by expressing them over their LCM.

`-1=-(35)/(35)`

`√(3) =\frac{35√(3)} {35}`

`-(6)/(5) =-(42)/(30)`

`-(6)/(7) =-(30)/(35)`

`2=(70)/(35)`

Since,

`-(42)/(30)<\:-(35)/(35)<\:-(30)/(35)<\:\frac{35√(3)} {35}<\:(70)/(35)`

We conclude that;

`-(6)/(5)<\:-1<\:-(6)/(7)<\:√(3)<\:2`

Therefore the correct answer is B
