Question

Put the numbers in order from GREATEST to LEAST

1) 3.65, 3 5/9, 10/3, 3 2/3
2) 3.65, 10/3, 3 5/9, 3 2/3
3) 3 5/9, 3.65, 10/3, 3 2/3
4) 3 5/9, 10/3, 3 2/3, 3.65

Answer 1

The correct order from greatest to least of the given numbers can be determined by converting them to decimal form and comparing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to put a set of numbers in order from greatest to least. Converting all numbers to decimals can help to compare them more easily. Here's how each number can be expressed as a decimal:

• 3.65 is already a decimal.
• 3 5/9 converts to 3 + 5/9 = 3.555...
• 10/3 converts to 3.333...
• 3 2/3 converts to 3 + 2/3 = 3.666...

Comparing these decimals:

1. 3.65
2. 3 2/3 (3.666...)
3. 3 5/9 (3.555...)
4. 10/3 (3.333...)

So, the correct order from greatest to least is 3.65, 3 2/3, 3 5/9, 10/3, which matches option 2 from the choices presented.
