Question

What is the order of the numbers `sqrt12, -3.5, 5/3, -2/3` form least to greatest?

Answer 1

`-3.5, -2/3, 5/3, sqrt12`

Explanation:

Convert all the numbers into either decimals, or fractions with the same denominator. I'll convert them all into decimals correct to 3 decimal places:

`sqrt12=3.464`
`-3.5=-3.500`
`5/3=1.667`
`-2/3=-0.667`

Order these from least to greatest:
`-3.500, -0.667, 1.667. 3.464`

Rewrite it using the original given form of the decimal:
`-3.5, -2/3, 5/3, sqrt12`
