Solve {l}{text{(1)}7:2}{text{(3)}8:3}{text{1.}1}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \text { (1) } 7 : 2 } \\ { \text { (3) } 8 : 3 } \\ { \text { 1. } 1 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$1,\frac{7}{2},8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 7 to get 7.

$$sort(\frac{7}{2},\frac{3\times 8}{3},1\times 1)$$

Cancel out 3 and 3.

$$sort(\frac{7}{2},8,1\times 1)$$

Multiply 1 and 1 to get 1.

$$sort(\frac{7}{2},8,1)$$

Convert decimal numbers in the list \frac{7}{2},8,1 to fractions.

$$\frac{7}{2},8,1$$

To sort the list, start from a single element \frac{7}{2}.

$$\frac{7}{2}$$

Insert 8 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$\frac{7}{2},8$$

Insert 1 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$1,\frac{7}{2},8$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{2},\ 8,\ 1$$
