Question

list these numbers in least to greatest using the dewey decimal system 593.5 587 592.3 594 592.37 and explain how the DDS works

Answer 1

Do you mean the Dewey decimal system used as library classification system?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Is a system of library classification made up of ten classes, each divided into ten divisions, each having ten sections (000-999 roughly)
Each number represents a topic, each decimal a subsection
For example,
330 for economics + .9 for geographic treatment + .04 for Europe = 330.94 European economy;
973 for United States + .05 form division for periodicals = 973.05 periodicals concerning the United States generally
When two or more books have the same classification number, the system sub-divides the class alphabetically.
Here is the list of all the classes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes

Answer 4

So it would be 587, 592.73, 592.3, 593.5 and 594

Answer 5

I suppose so, never really paid attention to these numbers before your question^^ but it seems logical to order them that way to easily navigate through the sections.

Answer 6

I need to make sure but thanks for that.
