Alright, lets go step by step. Lucky for you, I just got online. Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lets solve for the square root of 25 first. Do you know what it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1418261523197:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This what it looks like btw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, So let's put 5.2 and 5 next to each other, since their the easiest to find out. So far, in order from least to greatest, we have 5, 5.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's turn 37/7 into a decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35 divided by 7 is equal to five. but we have 37. so it would be roughly over 5, we'll need to get a little more closer to the answer here though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.2857

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now, we have 5, 5.2, 5.28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.2=5.20; 5.20<5.28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last, we got -5 3/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Negatives are always smaller than positive integers, so this one would be the smallest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we had 0.000001 and -100 and we had to order it from least to greatest, -100 would be the smallest number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd rather have 100 dollars than to have -250, since if I had -250, that meant I owed someone 250 dollars, or that means I'd be in debt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anywho, you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in the end, we have -5 3/7, 5, 5.2, 5.28 from least to greatest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, Can you help with another one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.
