Transcript text: List the fractions and decimals in order from least to greatest.
1. $\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{7}{10}, -\frac{3}{4}, \frac{8}{10}$
2. $-0.3, 0.5, 0.55, -0.35$
Solution
Solution Steps
To order fractions and decimals from least to greatest, we need to convert them to a common form for comparison. For fractions, we can find a common denominator and for decimals, we can compare them directly.
For the first example:
Convert $\frac{3}{4} \cdot -\frac{7}{10}$ to a common form.
Convert $-\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{8}{10}$ to a common form.
Compare the results to determine the order.
For the second example:
Compare the decimals directly to determine the order.
