Final answer:
To order the numbers from least to greatest, first convert fractional numbers to decimal form. The order is -42.2, -4/5 (-0.8), -0.5, 0.3, 3/5 (0.6), 23.6, 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, we should first convert the fractional numbers to decimal to make it easier to compare with the other decimals. The number 3/5 converts to 0.6 and -4/5 converts to -0.8. Now, we can rank the numbers as follows:
- b. -42.2 (the lowest value)
- g. -4/5 or -0.8
- d. -0.5
- e. 0.3
- f. 3/5 or 0.6
- a. 23.6
- c. 50 (the greatest value)
