Parth (parthkohli):

Convert into numerals. 1500, $$1 \over 1.4$$, 2000, $$1 \over 1400$$ Sort now.

Parth (parthkohli):

1/1400 is the least, then is 1/1.4....I bet now you can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you have a really large number in the denominator, then it means the number is really really small..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. i still don't it! this is frustrating.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.. well what's bigger. 1500 or 2000?

Parth (parthkohli):

Tell me...2000 is greater or 1500?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1500 is less than 2000

Parth (parthkohli):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.4 X 10^-3 1.4 X 10^-1 1.5 X 10^3 2 X 10^3
