How do you put 1.5, 0.25, 0.416, 0.75, 1.6, 0.375 in order from smallest to biggest?

Answer 1

0.25, 0.375, 0.416, 0.75, 1.5 1nd 1.6.

These numbers can be re-written by putting 0(zero)'s after the point (as there is no value of the 0(zero)'s right side of the point) :

1.500, 0.250, 0.416, 0.750, 1.600 and 0.375

Now (.)[point] can be omitted as digits are equals after the point :

1500, 250, 416, 750, 1600 and 375.

Now these points can be arranged from smallest to biggest as

250, 375, 416, 750, 1500 and 1600.

Hence the answer is : 0.25, 0.375, 0.416, 0.75, 1.5 and 1.6.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
