Question

Order the following numbers from greatest to least.

√16, 4.2, π, 8, 39

a) 39, √16, π, 8, 4.2
b) 39, 8, π, √16, 4.2
c) 39, π, 8, √16, 4.2
d) 39, 8, √16, 4.2, π

Answer 1

To order the numbers from greatest to least, start by comparing the numbers and placing them in the correct order. Therefore, the correct order is 39, 8, √16, 4.2, π.

Step-by-step explanation:

To order the numbers from greatest to least, we have:

1. 39
2. 8
3. √16
4. 4.2
5. π

Comparing the numbers, we find that 39 is the greatest, followed by 8. √16 is equal to 4, so it comes next. After that, we have 4.2 and π, which is approximately 3.14. Therefore, the correct order is 39, 8, √16, 4.2, π.
