Question

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest.
5.8 4 1/2 4.4

Answer 1

To put the numbers in order from least to greatest, we first need to convert all numbers to the same format. Let's convert \(4 \frac{1}{2}\) to a decimal:

\[
4 \frac{1}{2} = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
\]

Now, we have the numbers:
- 5.8
- 4.5
- 4.4

Next, we can see how they compare:
- 4.4
- 4.5
- 5.8

So, in order from least to greatest, the numbers are:
**4.4, 4.5, 5.8**.
