Question

order the fallowing numbers from least to greatest -3, -3.12, 1 1/2

Answer 1

Solution:

Consider the following numbers:

$-3$$-3.12$

and the mixed number:

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(2\text{ x 1)+1}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\text{ =}1.5$

now, applying the usual order of the real numbers, we have that:

$-3,12<-3<1.5$

then, the order of the given numbers from least to greatest is:

$-3.12$

$-3$

$1\frac{1}{2}$
