Question

put these numbers in order from greatest to least. 9.53, 9.85, \\(\frac{47}{5}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert the fraction to a decimal

To compare the numbers, we first convert \(\frac{47}{5}\) to a decimal. Dividing 47 by 5: \(47\div5 = 9.4\)

Step2: Compare the decimals

Now we have the three numbers as decimals: \(9.53\), \(9.85\), and \(9.4\).
Comparing the whole number part, all have 9. Then we compare the tenths place:

• \(9.85\) has 8 in the tenths place.
• \(9.53\) has 5 in the tenths place.
• \(9.4\) (which is \(\frac{47}{5}\)) has 4 in the tenths place.

Since \(8 > 5 > 4\), the order from greatest to least is \(9.85\), \(9.53\), \(\frac{47}{5}\).

Answer:

\(9.85\), \(9.53\), \(\frac{47}{5}\)
