identify the descending Numerical order of these fractions, and decimals, 0.7,330.923 1 2/5 17/20

1 answer

To arrange the given numbers in descending order, we first convert all fractions to decimals and then compare them.

  1. 0.7 is already in decimal form.
  2. 330.923 is already in decimal form.
  3. 1 2/5 can be converted to decimal:
    • 1 2/5 = 1 + 2/5 = 1 + 0.4 = 1.4
  4. 17/20 can be converted to decimal:
    • 17/20 = 0.85

Now we have the following decimal values:

  • 0.7
  • 330.923
  • 1.4
  • 0.85

Next, we will list them in descending order:

  1. 330.923
  2. 1.4
  3. 0.85
  4. 0.7

So, the numbers in descending order are: 330.923, 1 2/5, 17/20, 0.7.
