Answer:

The correct answer is A. -6, -2, 2/3 , 8/3 , 4

Explanation:

1. Let's look for the least number of this set and then continue to order them until we find the greatest, this way:

The least number is - 6 because is the biggest negative number in the set given to us.

The second least number is - 2, that is < 2/3 and > than - 6.

The third number is the fraction 2/3. It's < 8/3. If we use decimal numbers, 0.67 < 2.67

Now, the fourth term in order is 8/3.

Finally, the greatest number of the set given to us is 4.

The correct answer is A. -6, -2, 2/3 , 8/3 , 4

Note: Please make sure to write the numbers using the proper symbols. / was missing in 2/3 and 8/3
