Question

Order the following set of rational numbers from least to greatest, and explain how you determined their order.

Numbers: 0, -½, 1, -3 ⅓, 6, 5, -1, 21/5, 4

Answer 1

To make this easy, turn these all into a common format: I will use mixed fractions.
You will have
`0(0)/(30) , -0 (15)/(30) , 1(0)/(30) -3 (10)/(30) , 6 (0)/(30) , 5 (0)/(30) , -1 (0)/(30) , 4 (6)/(30) , and 4 (0)/(30)`
From there, the numbers go -3 10/30 , -1 0/30 , -0 15/30 , 0 , 1 , 4 , 4 6/30 , 5 , 6
