Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

First, write the fractions as decimals.

is 0.250.30.40.75 and

is –1.5–0.50.51.5.

 

Next, plot the numbers on the number line.

The least number is –1–0.93/41.1.

 

 

The greatest number is –0.93/41.11 1/2.

 

 

The correct order from least to greatest is 1.1, 3/4, –0.9, –1, 1 1/2–0.9, –1, 1.1, 3/4, 1 1/2–1, –0.9, 3/4, 1.1, 1 1/2.

 

Answer 1

3/4=0.75; 1 1/2=1.5

Negatives are least: smallest is -1, then -0.9 between -1 and 0.

The smallest positive is 3/4 or 0.75 between 0 and 1.

Then comes 1.1 which is smaller than 1.5 and finally 1.5 or 1 1/2.

Final order: -1, -0.9, 3/4 or 0.75, 1.1, 1 1/2 or 1.5.
