5003 Praxis Practice Test Practice Question
-3, 2.3, -3.5, 8, 2(4/5) Which of the following lists gives the preceding numbers in order from least to greatest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To arrange the numbers -3, 2.3, -3.5, 8, and 2(4/5) in order from least to greatest, we first convert 2(4/5) to a decimal, which is 2.8. The correct order starts with the smallest value, -3.5, followed by -3, then 2.3, followed by 2.8, and finally 8.
Option A lists the numbers as -3, -3.5, 2.3, 2.8, and 8, but incorrectly orders -3 and -3.5.
Option B incorrectly includes 23.8 and misorders the numbers.
Option C also misorders the numbers and includes an extra 3.
Option D contains the same errors as A, with incorrect ordering and an extra number.
