Question

Order these numbers from least to greatest.
171/20 8 7/11 7.549 8.59

Answer 1

7.549,
`(171)/(20)`, 8.59, 8
`(7)/(11)`

Explanation:

You notice the last 2 in the sequence are decimals. So you convert everything else to decimals too.

So begin with dividing 171/20 which gets you 8.55

Then convert the second fraction to a regular fraction, by multiplying the denominator by the bigger number beside it, 8.

So 8 * 11 = 88

Then add the numerator to the new product.

88 + 7 = 95

Then you have your new numerator.

Take that and divide by 11

95/11 = 8.63

So from least to greatest is

7.549,
`(171)/(20)`, 8.59, 8
`(7)/(11)`
