What are the 4 numbers in the bag? please let me know how you arrived at the answer. I was good at grade 5 math 34 yrs ago!

Answer 1

1.15, 1.25, 1.35 and 1.45

I used a series of "what if" steps and got lucky. The two lowest numbers have to add up to 2.4 and the two highest have to add up to 2.8. I could not make it work if the numbers were divisible by 0.1, so I tried numbers divisible by 0.05 and ending in 5.

Answer 2

Which of the following shows the correct order of the numbers below?

()2, , 0.45
