Use a calculator to find the value of a square root.
{11, sqrt(14), 5/2, 1, -9/16 }
Let's approach ordering the given set from greatest to least, one number at a time.
Rewrite 5 as 4+1
a+b/c = a/c + b/c
Calculate quotient
Write fraction as a mixed number
Similarly, let's graph - 916. Since -1<- 916<0, we will find 0 on the number line, and then move 916 of a step in the negative direction.
Next, let's plot 1. We will find 0 on the number line and move 1 step in the positive direction.
The last value is 11; let's plot it. We will find 0 on the number line and move 11 steps in the positive direction.
Finally, let's combine all of our number lines into one.
Now, we can write the set in order from greatest to least. {11, sqrt(14), 5/2, 1, -9/16 }
