A mechanic is using a machine that makes metal parts. She measures each part to confirm it is the correct size. Negative numbers mean the part is too small, and positive numbers mean the part is too big. Which list shows the numbers the mechanic records in order from least to greatest?
1/8 - 3/16 - 1/4 - 1/32 - 5/32 - 1/16

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown.

We have to transform all the fractions to new fractions with the same denominator, as follows:

1/8 *4/4 = 4/32

-3/16 *2/2 = -6/32

-1/4 *8/8 = -8/32

1/32

5/32

-1/16 *2/2 = -2/32

Now we can order the list simply comparing numerators:

-8/32, -6/32, -2/32, 1/32, 4/32, 5/32

or

-1/4, -3/16, -1/16, 1/32, 1/8, 5/32

The order from least to greatest is -1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32 option first is correct.

What is the number?

A number is a mathematical entity that can be used to count, measure, or name things. For example, 1, 2, 56, etc. are the numbers.

We have a measurement data as shown:

1/8, - 3/16, - 1/4, 1/32,  5/32, - 1/16

We can write the above numbers as follows:

0.125, -0.1875, -0.25, 0,03125, 0.15625, -0.0625

The order from least to greatest:

-1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32

Thus, the order from least to greatest is -1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32 option first is correct.
