B : -6.45, 4.25, -4/5, 1/2
C : 4.25, 1/2, -4/5, -6.5
D : 4.25, -4/5, 1/2, -6.5

Answer 1

Option C arranges the numbers correctly from greatest to least: 4.25, 1/2, -4/5, -6.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to arrange a given set of numbers from greatest to least. To determine the correct order, we need to compare the values of each number.

1. 4.25 is the largest positive number in the sets.
2. 1/2 is a positive fraction and is larger than any negative number but smaller than 4.25.
3. -4/5 is a negative fraction that is greater than any negative whole number.
4. -6.5 is the smallest negative number and therefore the least in the set.

Given these comparisons, option C: 4.25, 1/2, -4/5, -6.5 shows the numbers in the correct order from greatest to least.
