Questions: The number of entries into four drawings were 5,689 tickets, 5,896 tickets, 5,698 tickets, and 5,869 tickets. Which shows these values in order from least to greatest? 5,689 5,698 5,869 5,896 5,689 5,698 5,896 5,869 5,698 5,689 5,896 5,869 5,698 5,689 5,869 5,896

Solution Steps

The given values are:

• 5,689 tickets
• 5,896 tickets
• 5,698 tickets
• 5,869 tickets

All numbers have the same thousands digit, which is \(5\). Therefore, we proceed to compare the hundreds place.

• \(5,689\) has \(6\) in the hundreds place.
• \(5,896\) has \(8\) in the hundreds place.
• \(5,698\) has \(6\) in the hundreds place.
• \(5,869\) has \(8\) in the hundreds place.

Since \(6 < 8\), the numbers with \(6\) in the hundreds place (\(5,689\) and \(5,698\)) are smaller than those with \(8\) (\(5,896\) and \(5,869\)).

For \(5,689\) and \(5,698\):

• \(5,689\) has \(8\) in the tens place.
• \(5,698\) has \(9\) in the tens place.

Since \(8 < 9\), \(5,689\) is smaller than \(5,698\).

For \(5,896\) and \(5,869\):

• \(5,896\) has \(9\) in the tens place.
• \(5,869\) has \(6\) in the tens place.

Since \(6 < 9\), \(5,869\) is smaller than \(5,896\).

Based on the comparisons:

1. \(5,689\)
2. \(5,698\)
3. \(5,869\)
4. \(5,896\)
