Question

Which set of numbers is ordered from least to greatest?

A.
{0.4, 2.3, –1.1, –2, –3.1}

B.
{2.3, 0.4, –1.1, –2, –3.1}

C.
{–3.1, –2, –1.1, 0.4, 2.3}

D.
{–3.1, –2, –1.1, 2.3, 0.4}

Answer 1

C because with negative numbers, -3 is smaller than -2. With negative numbers you basically count backwards until you reach zero and then go to positive numbers. I hope this was helpful!

Answer 2

The 'bigger' the negative number seem, the smaller they are.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C,

-3.1, -2, -1.1, 0.4, 2.3
