Question

Which of the following lists is not in order from smallest to largest?

0.5, 1.3, 2.6, 3.8
4.75, 4.8, 4.92, 5
2.33, 1.87, 3.6, 7.1
10.1, 10.5, 11.2, 12.9

Answer 1

I am going to eliminate A "0.5, 1.3, 2.6, 3.8" because it is going from point to point and continuously growing.

B gets eliminated "4.75, 4.8, 4.92, 5" because, it is also growing from point to point as you can see its going by points in 4 to 5.

D is getting eliminated "10.1, 10.5, 11.2, 12.9" because they are growing in size from 10, to 11, to 12 which is growing right? its moving up.

The only logical answer would be C "2.33, 1.87, 3.6, 7.1" because it skips 1, instead it starts with 2, then 1, 3, then 7. It is not comparing from least to greatest, it is completely random. so in this case C is the correct answer.
