Question

put the words in alphabetical order. famous rush family rust fame

Explanation:

Step1: Identify first letters

Words start with 'f' (family, fame, famous) and 'r' (rush, rust). 'f' comes before 'r' alphabetically.

Step2: Order 'f' words

Compare "family", "fame", "famous".

• "family" (f-a-m-i-l-y)
• "fame" (f-a-m-e) – "fame" comes before "family"? Wait, no: compare letter by letter.

First three letters: f-a-m. Fourth letter: 'e' (fame) vs 'i' (family) vs 'o' (famous). So order: fame, family, famous.

Step3: Order 'r' words

"rush" and "rust". Fourth letter: 'h' (rush) vs 's' (rust). 'h' comes before 's', so rush, rust.

Step4: Combine

Combine ordered 'f' and 'r' groups: family, fame, famous, rush, rust? Wait no, wait step 2 correction: Wait "family" is f-a-m-i-l-y, "fame" is f-a-m-e. Let's do letter by letter:

1. family: f (1), a (2), m (3), i (4), l (5), y (6)
2. fame: f (1), a (2), m (3), e (4)
3. famous: f (1), a (2), m (3), o (4), u (5), s (6)

So comparing "family" and "fame": at 4th letter, 'e' (fame) is before 'i' (family)? Wait no, alphabetical order: 'e' (5th letter in alphabet) is before 'i' (9th). So "fame" comes before "family"? Wait no, wait the words:

Wait "family" is spelled f-a-m-i-l-y, "fame" is f-a-m-e. Let's list them with their letters:

• family: f, a, m, i, l, y
• fame: f, a, m, e
• famous: f, a, m, o, u, s

So when ordering, we compare each letter position.

Position 1: all f – same.

Position 2: all a – same.

Position 3: all m – same.

Position 4: e (fame), i (family), o (famous).

So e < i < o (since e is 5, i is 9, o is 15 in alphabet). So the order of the 'f' words is: fame, family, famous.

Then 'r' words: rush (r, u, s, h) and rust (r, u, s, t). Position 4: h (8) < t (20), so rush, rust.

So overall order: fame, family, famous, rush, rust? Wait no, wait the original words are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame. Wait no, the blue boxes are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame. Wait the words to order are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame. Wait I misread the words. Let's list the words given: famous, rush, family, rust, fame.

So the words are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame.

Now, let's list each word:

1. family
2. fame
3. famous
4. rush
5. rust

Wait no, let's do it properly. Let's list all words: family, fame, famous, rush, rust? No, the words are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame. So we need to order these five words: famous, rush, family, rust, fame.

Let's list each word:

• family: f, a, m, i, l, y
• fame: f, a, m, e
• famous: f, a, m, o, u, s
• rush: r, u, s, h
• rust: r, u, s, t

Now, group by first letter:

'f' words: family, fame, famous

'r' words: rush, rust

Now order 'f' words:

Compare family, fame, famous.

As before, position 4: e (fame), i (family), o (famous). So fame (e) < family (i) < famous (o). So 'f' order: fame, family, famous.

'r' order: rush (h) < rust (t), so rush, rust.

Now combine: fame, family, famous, rush, rust.

Wait but the original words include "famous", "rush", "family", "rust", "fame". So the ordered list is: fame, family, famous, rush, rust.

Wait let's check each word:

fame (f-a-m-e)

family (f-a-m-i-l-y)

famous (f-a-m-o-u-s)

rush (r-u-s-h)

rust (r-u-s-t)

Yes, that's alphabetical order.

Answer:

family, fame, famous, rush, rust? Wait no, wait the correct order is: fame, family, famous, rush, rust? Wait no, let's re-express:

Wait the words are: famous, rush, family, rust, fame.

Let's list their first letters:

• family: f
• fame: f
• famous: f
• rush: r
• rust: r

So 'f' words: family, fame, famous. 'r' words: rush, rust.

Now order 'f' words:

Compare "family", "fame", "famous".

First three letters: f-a-m. Fourth letter:

• fame: e
• family: i
• famous: o

So e < i < o, so order: fame, family, famous.

Then 'r' words: rush (h) < rust (t), so rush, rust.

So combined: fame, family, famous, rush, rust.

Wait but let's check the alphabetical order of all five words:

1. fame (f-a-m-e)
2. family (f-a-m-i-l-y)
3. famous (f-a-m-o-u-s)
4. rush (r-u-s-h)
5. rust (r-u-s-t)

Yes, that's correct. So the order is fame, family, famous, rush, rust.
