astrophysics · Answer

What do you think is the smallest number

anonymous · Answer

0.79

mrnood · Answer

try multiplying all numbers  by 1000 - that is - move the decimal point 3 spaces to the right.

Then sort out the whole numbers into order...

anonymous · Answer

Then it would go 0.079, 0.79, 0.709,0.710, because if I'm reading the number line correctly 0.079 is the same as -79, but the rest are positive.

Not quite, lets ignore the left side of the line the negative numbers don't have anything to do with this, so let me just make a new one I guess.

anonymous · Answer

ok

|dw:1440159668625:dw| the line is obviously not to scale, and I'm using random numbers, notice how close you are to the 0, the more 0's there will be because essentially it will become 0.
