Given the sorted numbers 2,8,16,19,24,35,75,88. Insert 20, showing your steps clearly

20 goes between 19 and 24 or 2,8,16,19,20,24,35,75,88

Explanation:

1 easy way to do it is see if the number is smaller or greater than 20. So first we have 2 which is the second number so 2 smaller than 20 by 18. Next is 8 so if you count up you will reach 8 first indicating that 8 is smaller than 20 by 12. Now we do the same thing with 16 and 19 if you count up you will reach 16 and 19 before you get to 20. Now you have 24 so you count up but this time you reach 20 first so that indicates that 20 is smaller than 24 so you put 20 between the number 24 since it is the closest larger number to 20 and you also put it next to 19 since it is the closest smaller number to 20. Now we aren't gonna do the numbers after 24 because there already sorted from least to greatest so that means all the numbers after 24 will be greater than 20. So now that we solved the problem the number line should look like this 2,8,16,19,20,24,35,75,88. As you can see 20 is in between 19 and 24.
