List the measurements in decreasing order

Question

8 cm, 5227 mm, 239 cm, 96mm, 7 m, and 400 mm

Answer 1

In order to do this, we should first convert all of these into the same units. I am going to pick mm, but you could easily use any other unit. Then, we end up getting:

80 mm, 5227 mm, 2390 mm, 7000 mm, and 400 mm

From there, it is pretty intuitive what the order is. From largest to smallest,

7000 mm, 5227 mm, 2390 mm, 400 mm, 80 mm

Now that they have been sorted, we should convert them back to the original units

7 m, 5227 mm, 239 cm, 400 mm, 8 cm
