Identify the ascending numerical order of the decimals and fractions, keep the original format for each item

Question

2 1/8, 2 1/6, 0.03, 0.4.

Answer 1

To arrange the decimals and fractions in ascending numerical order, we first convert the fractions to decimal form for easier comparison.

• 2 1/8 = 2 + 1/8 = 2 + 0.125 = 2.125
• 2 1/6 = 2 + 1/6 ≈ 2 + 0.1667 ≈ 2.1667
• 0.03 = 0.03
• 0.4 = 0.4

Now we compare the decimal values:

• 0.03 (decimal)
• 0.4 (decimal)
• 2.125 (2 1/8)
• 2.1667 (2 1/6)

Now we can list them in ascending order:

1. 0.03
2. 0.4
3. 2 1/8
4. 2 1/6

So, the ascending order is:

0.03, 0.4, 2 1/8, 2 1/6.
