Question

Order the numbers in each list from least to greatest. 0, |-14|, 13 , -12, |-16|, 17

Answer 1

The order of the number from least to greatest is given by:

-12 , 0 , 13 , |-14| , |-16| , 17

Explanation:

We are asked to represent each of the given numbers in the list in the order of least to greatest.

The list is as follows:

0, |-14|, 13 , -12, |-16|, 17

We know that if a number is negative then the number whose absolute value is greater will be a smaller number.

whereas if a number is a positive number then the number whose absolute value is greater will be a greater number.

Now, we know that:

|-14|=14

and

|-16|=16

Hence, we need to arrange:

0 , 14 , 13 , -12 , 16 , 17

The ordering is as follows:

-12 , 0 , 13 , 14 , 16 , 17

i.e.

-12 , 0 , 13 , |-14| , |-16| , 17

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

In order to find the answer you must first find the absolute value of each number, then order them from least to greatest.

• 
  `0 = 0`
• 
  `I-14I = 14`
• 
  `13 = 13`
• 
  `-12 = 12`
• 
  `I-16I=16`
• 
  `17 = 17`
• Now least to greatest:
• 
  `-12,0,13,14,16,17`

Therefore the answer is "-12,0,13,14,16,17."

Hope this helps!
