Determine the maxium and minimum values of the following set of numbers 3,-36/7,-1,-2/3,5/4,-5,26/9?

Answer 1

Positive numbers are 3, 5/4, and 26/9
Negative numbers are -36/7, -1, -2/3. -5

The largest positive number is the max.
26/9 is not quite 3 (that would have to be 27/9)
5/4 is 1.25
Neither of these is larger than 3 - so 3 is the maximum value.

-36/7 is negative (5 and 1/7)
The size of this number in the negative direction is biggest, so the minimum value is -36/7.

Answer 2

3, -36/7 , -1, -2/3, 5/4 , -5, 26/9
3, -5 1/7, -1, -2/3, 1 1/4, -5, 2 8/9

max = 3
min = -36/7

Answer 3

from maximum to minimum
3;26/9;5/4;;-2/3;-1;-5;-36/7
