Question

3) Put the numbers below in order from least to greatest:6.6,1472036.7 , 6.83

Answer 1

We have to order the numbers:

`\begin{gathered} 6.6 \\ √(47) \\ (20)/(3) \\ 6\text{.}\bar{7} \\ 6.\bar{83} \end{gathered}`

The ones that are not clear enough are the square root of 47 and 20/3.

We calculate them and we have:

`\begin{gathered} √(47)\approx6.856 \\ \\ (20)/(3)=6\text{.}\bar{6} \end{gathered}`

Then, we can order now from least to greatest as:

`\begin{gathered} 1)6.6 \\ 2)(20)/(3)=6.\bar{6} \\ 3)6\text{.}\bar{7} \\ 4)6\text{.}\bar{83} \\ 5)√(47) \end{gathered}`
