Question

Put these numbers in order from greatest to least.


-53.86, 53.25, 53 19/25, 53, 53.48

Answer 1

Put these numbers in order from greatest to least.
18.3, -18, 0.5, 18.5.

Answer 2

To order the numbers from greatest to least, we first need to convert them into a comparable format. Let's express everything in decimal form where necessary:

1. **53.25** - already in decimal form.
2. **53 19/25** - convert the fraction:
\( 19/25 = 0.76 \)
Thus, \( 53 19/25 = 53 + 0.76 = 53.76 \).
3. **53** - already in decimal form.
4. **53.48** - already in decimal form.
5. **-53.86** - already in decimal form.

Now we have the numbers:
- 53.25
- 53.76
- 53
- 53.48
- -53.86

Next, let's list them in order from greatest to least:

1. 53.76
2. 53.48
3. 53.25
4. 53
5. -53.86

Thus, the numbers in order from greatest to least are:
**53 19/25, 53.48, 53.25, 53, -53.86.**

Answer 3

To order the numbers from greatest to least, let’s first list them out:

- 18.3
- -18
- 0.5
- 18.5

Now, we can compare these numbers:

1. **18.5** - This is the greatest.
2. **18.3** - This is the next greatest.
3. **0.5** - This comes after the two positive numbers.
4. **-18** - This is the least (negative number).

Now we can place them in order from greatest to least:

**18.5, 18.3, 0.5, -18.**
