Question

Order from least to greatest2.88, -2.98, -2 9/10

Answer 1

Given the numbers:

`\begin{gathered} 2.88 \\ -2.98 \\ \\ -2(9)/(10) \end{gathered}`

You can identify that the positive number is the greatest because positive number numbers are greater than negative numbers:

`2.88`

You can convert the Mixed Number to a Decimal Number as follows:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

2. Add the result to the whole number part.

Then, you get:

`-2(9)/(10)=-(2+(9)/(10))=-(2+0.9)=-2.9`

Now you can identify that:

`-2.98<-2.9`

Because -2.9 is closer to zero than -2.98.

Hence, you can order them from least to greatest:

`-2.98,-2(9)/(10),2.88`

Therefore, the answer is:

`-2.98,-2(9)/(10),2.88`
