Math Problem Statement

1/4​,−3​, Square Root 3, −3/2​, 3.8 least to greatest

Solution

To order the numbers from least to greatest, we first convert them to their decimal equivalents:

  1. 14=0.25\frac{1}{4} = 0.25
  2. 3=3.00-3 = -3.00
  3. 31.732\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732
  4. 32=1.5-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5
  5. 3.8=3.83.8 = 3.8

Now, let's list them in order from least to greatest:

3,32,14,3,3.8-3, -\frac{3}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \sqrt{3}, 3.8

So the order is:

3,32,14,3,3.8-3, -\frac{3}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \sqrt{3}, 3.8
