Question

Put these numbers in order of their distance from 0 on the number line, starting with the smallest distance: -26, -12.7, -9/2, 2/100, 7, 11 1/4 , 41/2, 35

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} -(9)/(2)=-4.5 \\ (2)/(100)=0.02 \\ 11(1)/(4)=11.25 \\ (41)/(2)=20.5 \end{gathered}`

The ordered list is:

`\begin{gathered} 0.02,-4.5,7,11.25,-12.7,20.5,-26,35 \\ or \\ (2)/(100),-(9)/(2),7,11(1)/(4),-12.7,(41)/(2),-26,35 \end{gathered}`
