Out of all the possibilities to have two decimal numbers with 2 digits after the decimal point that both round to 5 and with each digit only used once, the one with the greatest/lowest difference to 5 are:
|4.60 – 5| + |5.39 – 5| = 0.79
|4.98 – 5| + |5.01 – 5| = 0.03
possible answer: 5.01 and 4.98 (least found before i looked at answers)
