Arrange -0.5,-0.75,0.75,0 in order from least to greatest.

Question

I need these decimals in order from least to greatest

Answer 1

Separate the negatives from the positives. Negative values are always less then positive values.

So we have -0.5 and -0.75 as negatives and 0.75 and 0 as positives.

-0.75 is more negative than -0.5 so the order is -0.75, -0.5.

0 is less then 0.75 so the order is 0, 0.75.

Final order: -0.75, -0.5, 0, 0.75.
