Demichael orders a set of numbers on his
homework. In descending order, the first
number is 5 1/2 and the last number is 5 1/3
Which of the following numbers is NOT in
Demichael's list?

A V25
B 5.45
C 5 12 름
D 5.34

Answer :

The numbers are ordered, such that the first number (the largest one) is:

(5 + 1/2)

And the last number (the smaller one) is (5 + 1/3). Only by knowing this, we will see that the correct options are A and C.

We want to see which of the following numbers is not on the list:

A) √25

B) 5.45

C) 5 12  

D) 5.34

One of these numbers can only be in the list if it is larger than  (5 + 1/3) and smaller than (5 + 1/2).

To see this easier, let´s rewrite both of these:

5 + 1/2 = 5 + 0.5 = 5.5

5 + 1/3 = 5 + 0.33 = 5.33

Then if a number is smaller than 5.33, the number can't be in the list.

Here we can see two numbers that are smaller than 5.33

These are:

Option A) √25 = 5 < 5.33

Option C) 5.12 < 5.33

And there is no number larger than 5.5

Concluding, the numbers that are not in Demichael's list are:

√25 and 5.12
