Answer Key

1)  -8.2 < -2 1/2 < 0.4 < 2.4

2)  i)  1.2 < 2  and ii)  6.05 = 6.05

3)  0.9 > 0.5 > -5 1/9 > -7.1

4)  i)  8.5 > 2  and ii)  10.2 > 10

5)  -3 3/9 < -2.4 < 0.2 < 9.5

6)  i)  1.4 > -2 and ii)  6.8 < 8.6

7)  7.4 > 0.2 > -4.5 > -7.4

8)  -9.3 < -34/4 < 0.7 < 4

9)  3.3 > 0.3 > -3 >-3.3

10)  i)  8.5 > -8.5 and ii)  0.2 < 0.5
