Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Let's define the vocabulary.

What is an integer?

An integer is a number that is not a fraction or decimal. They are all whole numbers, positive and negative.

I see that there are absolute values. Absolute value means the distance from the number to 0. Use a number line!

Let's solve it.

-8 comes first since it is the only negative. Then comes 5, since it is the smallest positive. Then 6, then the absolute value of -7. Remember that the absolute value is the distance form 0. If you use a number line, -7 is 7 units away from 0, so the absolute value of -7 is 7! Then, last but not least, 8.

The correct answer is C.

Hope that helped!

Answer 2

C. –8, 5, 6, |–7|, 8

because -8 < 5 < 6 < |-7| < 8
