Question

Which set of rational numbers is arranged from least to greatest? −3.5, negative 1 over 4 , 2, 1 over 3 −3.5, negative 1 over 4 , 1 over 3 , 2 2, 1 over 3 , negative 1 over 4 , −3.5 negative 1 over 4 , 1 over 3 , 2, −3.5

Answer 1

B. −3.5, negative 1 over 4, 1 over 3, 2

Explanation:

Rational numbers are set of number in the form of fractions, or directed fractions.

Thus,

-
`(7)/(2)` = - 3.5

`(1)/(3)` = 0.333333....

-
`(1)/(4)` = - 0.25

`(2)/(1)` = 2

arranging these numbers in an increasing order, we have;

- 3.5, - 0.25, 0.3333, 2

⇒ - 3.5, -
`(1)/(4)`,
`(1)/(3)`, 2

The correct option for the question is B.
