The first step to solve this exercise is to write the Mixed number as a decimal number. You can do it by dividing the numerator by the denominator of the fractional part and adding the quotient to the Whole number part, as follows:


1+(4)/(5)=1+\text{0}.8=1.8

So:


-1(4)/(5)=-1.8

Knowing that Positive numbers are greater than zero and knowing that Negatives numbers are less than zero, we can order the given numbers from greatest to least, as you can see below:
