Final answer:
The correct sequence of numbers from least to greatest is -5.9, 4, 58%, 235.78, which corresponds to option c.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option c. -5.9, 4, 235.78, 58%. To arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest, first, we need to interpret each number correctly. The negative number -5.9 is the smallest, so it comes first. Next, we see the number 4, which is clearly greater than -5.9 but less than 235.78. Since there was likely a typo in the original question and 5.78 should be 235.78, we then place 235.78 next in the sequence. Lastly, we convert 58% to a decimal for comparison, which is 0.58, and since it is less than 1, it must come after 4 and before 235.78. Therefore, the correct sequence from least to greatest is -5.9, 4, 58%, 235.78.
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to consider the integers, decimals, and percentages separately.
For the integers and decimals, we have -5.9, 4, and 5.78. The order from least to greatest would be -5.9, 4, and 5.78.
For the percentage, we have 58%. When comparing percentages, we look at the numerical values behind them. In this case, 58% is equivalent to 0.58. Since 0.58 is greater than -5.9, 4, and 5.78, it would come last in the order.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is -5.9, 4, 5.78, and 58%.
