Answer:

  • -4 1/2, -2 3/8, 1.35, 5.6

Explanation:

Imagine the numbers are plotted on the number line.

  • -4, -2, 1, 5 (ignoring the fraction part as the whole part is different for each number and it makes it easier to order properly)

Order on the number line which is from least to greatest:

  • -4 1/2, -2 3/8, 1.35, 5.6
