We need to look at the list. The numbers they are showing are negative and positive. To make this easier on us, we can eliminate some answers. Negatives are less than positives, so any list that has positives first is wrong. We can eliminate A and C.

B and C have two different negative numbers first -6.53 or -6 1/4. We can try to find the answer by finding out which number is less. When a number is negative, the bigger the absolute value, the smaller it is. -6 1/4= -6.25. -6.53 is less than -6 1/4.

So, B is the answer.

The answer is B. When you translate all the numbers to decimal form, you get the order from least to greatest: -6.53, -6.25(-6 1/4), 6.57, 6.75(6 3/4). Hope this helped!
