Question

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest:
1) 12.42857142(-12 3/7)
2) 7.61577310(-√58)
3) -9.42477796(-3pi)
4) 5.142857(36/7)

Answer 1

To put the given numbers in order from least to greatest, let's first convert them into decimal form, if necessary:

1) \(12.42857142\) is already decimal.
2) \(7.61577310\) is already decimal.
3) \(-9.42477796\) is already decimal.
4) \(5.142857\) is already in decimal.

Now, let's compare the values:

1) \(12.42857142\)
2) \(7.61577310\)
3) \(-9.42477796\)
4) \(5.142857\)

Now we know the approximate values of each:

- \(12.42857142\) is approximately \(12.43\)
- \(7.61577310\) is approximately \(7.62\)
- \(-9.42477796\) is approximately \(-9.42\)
- \(5.142857\) is approximately \(5.14\)

Now we order them from least to greatest:

1) \(-9.42477796\)
2) \(5.142857\)
3) \(7.61577310\)
4) \(12.42857142\)

Putting it all together, the order from least to greatest is:

\(-3\pi\), \(\frac{36}{7}\), \(-\sqrt{58}\), \(12 \frac{3}{7}\)
