identify the descending numerical order of these fractions and decimals 0.733, 0.923, 1 2/5, 17/20, 15/18

Answer 1

To compare the fractions and decimals, let's convert them all to decimal form for easy comparison.

1. 0.733 (already in decimal form)
2. 0.923 (already in decimal form)
3. 1 2/5 = 1 + 2/5 = 1 + 0.4 = 1.4
4. 17/20 = 0.85 (calculated by dividing 17 by 20)
5. 15/18 = 0.8333... (calculated by dividing 15 by 18)

Now, we have:

• 0.733
• 0.923
• 1.4
• 0.85
• 0.8333...

Next, we will list these values in descending order:

1. 1.4 (or \(1 \frac{2}{5}\))
2. 0.923
3. 0.85 (or \( \frac{17}{20} \))
4. 0.8333... (or \( \frac{15}{18} \))
5. 0.733

So, in descending numerical order, the values are:

1 2/5, 0.923, 17/20, 15/18, 0.733.
