Question

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest:
1)9.38083151 (88)
2) 12.56637061(4)
3) -12
4) 17.27¯(fraction)

Answer 1

To order the numbers from least to greatest, we first interpret each number:

1) **9.38083151 (88)** - This is approximately 9.38083151.

2) **12.56637061 (4)** - This is approximately 12.56637061.

3) **-12** - The value is -12.

4) **17.27¯ (fraction)** - The notation "17.27¯" indicates a repeating decimal, which is 17.272727... or \( 17.27\overline{27} \).

Now, we can compare the numbers:

- **-12** is the least.
- **9.38083151** is greater than -12 but less than 12.56637061.
- **12.56637061** is greater than 9.38083151 and less than 17.272727...
- **17.272727...** is the greatest of all.

Putting it all together in order from least to greatest:

\[-12, 9.38083151, 12.56637061, 17.272727...\]

So the final order is:

**-12, 9.38083151 (88), 12.56637061 (4), 17.27¯ (fraction)**.
