Question

Least to greatest. 5.23, 5.208, 53 over 10, 6 and 1/4

Answer 1

we are asked to organize the given expression:

`5.23,\text{ }6\text{ 1/4, }(53)/(10),5.208`

To do that we will first rewrite the expressions in decimal notation:

For 6 1/4:

`6+(1)/(4)=(25)/(4)=6.25`

For 53/10:

`(53)/(10)=5.3`

therefore, the right order is:

`5.208<5.23<5.3<6.25`

Rewritten in the original notation is:

`5.208<5.23<(53)/(10)<6\text{ 1/4}`
