Math Problem Statement
Order each set of numbers from least to greatest. Verify your answer by graphing on a number line.
Solution
Let's break down the set of numbers and convert them into decimal values for easier comparison. The given set is:
Step 1: Convert each value to decimal
-
:
-
:
-
: Already in decimal form, .
-
: Already in decimal form, .
Step 2: Compare the decimal values
Now that we have all the numbers in decimal form, let's list them:
From least to greatest:
Step 3: Verify on the number line
Looking at the number line, which ranges from to , we can plot the values:
- is between and .
- (which is ) is between and , slightly to the left of .
- is exactly on the mark at .
- is exactly on the mark at .
Conclusion:
The correct order from least to greatest is:
