Solve {l}{74}{-(1/2)}{2(3)}{1/2}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 74 } \\ { - ( \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) } \\ { 2 ( 3 ) } \\ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},6,74$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$sort(74,-\frac{1}{2},6,\frac{1}{2})$$

Convert decimal numbers in the list 74,-\frac{1}{2},6,\frac{1}{2} to fractions.

$$74,-\frac{1}{2},6,\frac{1}{2}$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 74.

$$74$$

Insert -\frac{1}{2} to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-\frac{1}{2},74$$

Insert 6 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-\frac{1}{2},6,74$$

Insert \frac{1}{2} to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},6,74$$

Evaluate

$$74,\ -\frac{1}{2},\ 6,\ \frac{1}{2}$$
