Let’s go through each part step by step.
---
Part A: Form the largest number possible using each given set of digits.
To make the largest number, we arrange the digits from
biggest to smallest, left to right.
1) Digits: 5, 2, 9, 1 → Largest:
9521
2) Digits: 2, 4, 3, 0 → Largest:
4320
3) Digits: 1, 0, 3, 2 → Largest:
3210
4) Digits: 8, 2, 4, 5 → Largest:
8542
5) Digits: 4, 7, 5, 3 → Largest:
7543
6) Digits: 1, 3, 5, 6 → Largest:
6531
✔ All checked — digits arranged in descending order.
---
Part B: Form the smallest number possible using each given set of digits.
To make the smallest number, we arrange the digits from
smallest to biggest, left to right — BUT we must avoid putting 0 at the very beginning (unless it’s the only digit, which isn’t the case here).
1) Digits: 7, 4, 9, 2 → Smallest:
2479
2) Digits: 8, 9, 7, 6 → Smallest:
6789
3) Digits: 9, 7, 6, 5 → Smallest:
5679
4) Digits: 5, 1, 8, 2 → Smallest:
1258
5) Digits: 6, 8, 5, 4 → Smallest:
4568
6) Digits: 4, 7, 3, 5 → Smallest:
3457
✔ All checked — no leading zeros, digits in ascending order.
---
Part C: Build the smallest and largest possible numbers using the given digits.
1) Digits: 2, 5, 3, 4
→ Largest: arrange big to small →
5432
→ Smallest: arrange small to big →
2345
2) Digits: 7, 6, 9, 1
→ Largest:
9761
→ Smallest:
1679
✔ Checked — correct ordering.
---
Part D: What is the smallest whole number you can make with the following digits? 5, 1, 8, 3
Smallest whole number → arrange digits smallest to largest:
1358
Note: Since there’s no 0, we don’t have to worry about leading zero. Just sort ascending.
✔ Correct.
