Using the digits 1, 3, and 5 only once, write the greatest
and least three-digit numbers you can.

Sagot :

Answer:

Greatest: 531

Least: 135

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make the greatest number, you want the highest number to be in the highest digits place.

In this case, 5 is the largest number

This is because having a number that is 500 is greater than a number that is 300 or  100.

Then, the next biggest number will be used for the next digit, which is 3, so 3 will be in the 10s place

Then the left over 1 will be in the single digits place, so the greatest number is

531

This is the same process as before, just instead of big numbers, you want little numbers

For the least number, you want the lowest number to be in the 100s place, which is 1

Then 3 is the next lowest number

and the left over is 5

So the least number you can make is:

135
