Question

Place the numbers in order from greatest to least 27, 62%, -0.062,65,0.

Answer 1

In order to place the numbers in descending order, i.e greatest to least, we would have to simplify or at least approximate some numbers.

`\begin{gathered} \pi\approx3.142 \\ 31\text{\%}=0.31 \\ (1)/(3)\approx0.333 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, placing the numbers in ascending order would result in;

`-0.32,31\text{\% ,}(1)/(3),3.1\text{ , }\pi`

This is therefore the correct order.
