Question

Order the rational numbers from east to greatest -7/3, -2 5/8, -2.9.

Answer 1

The answer is -2.9, -2
`(5)/(8)`, -
`(7)/(3)`

Explanation:

Since the numbers get higher, the negative numbers that are like -2.9 and -2.3 are considered to be less than -1.9 because they are on the left side further from -1.9 and since -1.9 is closer to 0, it is greater than -2.9 and -2.3. The way I explained is just an example.

Answer 2

Explanation:

-7/3, -2 5/8, -2.9

-2 1/3, -2 5/8, -2 9/10

-2 9/10, -2 5/8, -2 1/3

this is the order from least to greatest

-2.9, -2 5/8, -7/3
