Order the set of numbers from least to greatest: -5/6, -5, -26 squared, -31/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to turn them into decimals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just divide the top number by the bottom number. But be careful, we have negatives. A negative divided by a positive is a negative. So -31/6 is actually -31 divided by six.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that's -5.1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And -5/6 would just be -0.8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! You're catching on now :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now the last step is to place them in order from least to greatest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-26, -5, -5.1, -0.8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's actually the other way around because if you have a number line, -26 is the furthest away from zero. So basically, it's -0.8,-5,-5.1 and -26.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But because it's negitives, I thought that the bigger numbers were smaller :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my god, I'm sorry DX I misunderstood. I was thinking in the back of my mind "greatest to least". Therefore, you are right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay I feel smart though :D xD Would you be able to help me with a few other problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the number that does not belong with the other three. Explain your reasoning. \[50.11...\] \[-\frac{ 50 }{ 2 }, -50.1, \sqrt{50}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You said identify the number that does not belong with the other Three; that means there must be four, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg I'm slow, ain't I? I just figured it out. Nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's fine xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so we have 50.11, -25, -50.1, and 7. I would say \[\sqrt{50}\] may be the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it's a low number from the rest of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just my opinion, but I do think it may be the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more question if you don't mind?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your welcome. Need any more help?

Convert 5.764764764 … to a rational expression in the form of a over b, where b ≠ 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah wtf okay i tried to copy and paste :')

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large\cal\color{red}{Whoa,}~\color{green}{what}~\color{blue}{happened?}~\color{purple}{lol}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't even know I tried to copy and paste the problem xDD Convert 5.764764764 … to a rational expression in the form of a over b, where b ≠ 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay it isn't gonna work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh well, i'll figure it out xD Thank you for helping me :')

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large\cal\color{red}{Lol}~\color{green}{okay}~\color{blue}{then.}\)
