Stefan and his friends used four tables for all the dishes the guests brought to the party. The tables were 2 8/10 meters long, 2.48 meters long, 2 59/100 meters long, and 2.83 meters long. Enter each length as a decimal number in order from greatest to least.

Answer 1

`2.83,2.8,2.59,2.48`

Explanation:

Given:

Numbers are
`(28)/(10)\,m,\,2.48\,m,\,(259)/(100)\,m,\,2.83 \,m`

To express: each length as a decimal number in order from greatest to least

Solution:

A number which consists of a whole number part and the fractional part separated by a decimal point is known as a decimal number.

`(28)/(10)=2.8\\ 2.48=2.48\\(259)/(100)=2.59\\ 2.83=2.83`

Numbers arranged in order from greatest to least:
`2.83,2.8,2.59,2.48`
