Question

Arrange the list of numbers in order from least to greatest:

1-31, |:|, 1-21, 13:51, -1
Options:
O) 13:51, | |, -1, 1-21, 1-31
O) 13:51, -1, 12), -31, 1-21, 18:51
O) 0-1, 11-21.31, 13:51

Answer 1

The numbers in order from least to greatest, after interpreting potential typos, are: -30 (1-31), -20 (1-21), -1, and 13 (13:51). The symbol '|:|' cannot be accurately placed without further clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question at hand involves arranging a series of numbers in order from least to greatest. The numbers given are a mix of positive and negative integers, and it's important to understand that negative numbers are always less than positive numbers. When comparing negative numbers, a number with a larger absolute value is actually smaller, because it is further below zero on the number line.

1. -1, because on the number line, it is closest to zero.
2. 1-21, which translates to -20, the next closest to zero.
3. 1-31, or -30, which is the least among the given numbers.
4. 13:51, which seems to represent a time and is likely a typo, but if we treat it as 13, it's the largest and a positive number.

It's not entirely clear what '|:|' represents, so we cannot accurately rank it within this list. Assuming it's a typo or an irrelevant part, the correct order from least to greatest for the numbers given, and inferring the potential typos, would be:

1. -30 (assuming 1-31 is a typo for -30)
2. -20 (assuming 1-21 is a typo for -20)
3. -1
4. 13 (assuming 13:51 is a typo or irrelevant bit meant to be 13)
