Leo is correct.
In decimal form, 2.55555555.. can be expressed as the repeating decimal 2.55. The pattern repeats indefinitely, so it can be represented as the fraction 2 55/99. Di's fraction, 2 55/100, is not equivalent to the decimal 2.55555555..
1. Order the following sets of numbers from least to greatest: 15, radical symbol 18 , 2π
2. Order the following sets of numbers from least to greatest: 250^0, β525, (7^2-1)
3. Di and Leo both write the decimal 2.55555555.. As a fraction.
Diβs fraction: 2 55/100
Leoβs fraction: 2 55/99

Order the following sets of numbers from least to greatest: 15, radical symbol 18 , 2π
To order these sets of numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values.
First, let's determine the approximate values of each number:
15 β 15
β18 β 4.2426
2π β 6.2832
From least to greatest, the order is:
15, β18, 2π

Order the following sets of numbers from least to greatest: 250^0, β525, (7^2-1)
To order these sets of numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values.
First, let's calculate the values:
250^0 = 1
β525 β 22.9129
(7^2-1) = 48
From least to greatest, the order is:
1, β525, 48
First, let's calculate the values:
250^0 = 1
β525 β 22.9129
(7^2-1) = 48
From least to greatest, the order is:
