Question

Order each expression according to its value from smallest (top) to largest (bottom):

A) -8-(-8)
B) 12 : (-4) — (6) + 10
C) (-3) * (-2)
D) (-7) x 2
E) (-16) ÷ (-2)
F) 11-(-1)

Answer 1

Expressions are evaluated and ordered from smallest to largest: D) -14, A) 0, B) 1, C) 6, E) 8, F) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by calculating the value of each expression to determine their order from smallest to largest:

1. A) -8-(-8) simplifies to -8 + 8, which equals 0.
2. B) 12 : (-4) - (6) + 10 simplifies to -3 - 6 + 10, which equals 1.
3. C) (-3) * (-2) follows the rule that multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive, so the result is 6.
4. D) (-7) x 2 follows the rule that a negative times a positive is negative, equalling -14.
5. E) (-16) ÷ (-2) also follows the multiplication rule for signs; two negatives make a positive, so the answer is 8.
6. F) 11-(-1) changes to 11 + 1 according to subtraction rules, giving 12.

Now we can arrange them in order:

1. D) -14
2. A) 0
3. B) 1
4. C) 6
5. E) 8
6. F) 12
