Question

I'm having trouble with a math homework assignment and need help determining which set of numbers is not in the correct order from smallest to largest. The sets are: A) 2.5, 3.1, 0, -0.7, 1.2, B) -1.9, -2.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.5, C) 4.2, 3.9, -0.8, -1.1, 0, and D) 0.9, 1.7, -0.3, -0.5, 0.

Answer 1

To determine which set of numbers is not in the correct order from smallest to largest, we can sort each set and see if they are correctly arranged.

A) 2.5, 3.1, 0, -0.7, 1.2
Sorted order: -0.7, 0, 1.2, 2.5, 3.1 (Not in order)

B) -1.9, -2.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.5
Sorted order: -2.3, -1.9, 0.1, 0.4, 0.5 (Not in order)

C) 4.2, 3.9, -0.8, -1.1, 0
Sorted order: -1.1, -0.8, 0, 3.9, 4.2 (Not in order)

D) 0.9, 1.7, -0.3, -0.5, 0
Sorted order: -0.5, -0.3, 0, 0.9, 1.7 (Not in order)

Now, let's summarize the findings:

- Set A: Not ordered correctly.
- Set B: Not ordered correctly.
- Set C: Not ordered correctly.
- Set D: Not ordered correctly.

All sets are not in the correct order from smallest to largest. However, if we are looking for a specific response, all of them have issues ordering; if you need me to elaborate on sorting a specific set or give more detail, please let me know!
