Practice Ordering Numbers in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Arranging a collection of numbers from least to greatest (ascending) or greatest to least (descending).
Numbers live on a line—you can always put them in order from left to right.
Example 1
easyArrange from least to greatest: \frac{1}{2}, 0.3, \frac{3}{4}, 0.65.
Example 2
mediumOrder from greatest to least: -\frac{1}{2}, -0.6, 0, -\frac{1}{3}.
Example 3
mediumOrder from least to greatest: \frac{3}{8}, 0.4, \frac{1}{3}, 0.375.
Example 4
easyWrite three integers in order such that each is exactly 5 less than the previous.
Example 5
mediumInsert a rational number between \frac{2}{5} and \frac{3}{5}.
