Question

Order the rational numbers from least to greatest. 10. 0.3, 1/4, -18, 5/6, -1 11. -11.2, 5.2, 4/9, 3, 0

Answer 1

Explanation:

Question 10.

If we imagine the numbers lying on a number line, the leftmost will the smallest and the rightmost will be the greatest numbers.

Having that in mind, let us convert all numbers to decimal form and then see which ones are greater or smaller.

0. 3 = 0.3

1/4 = 0.25

-18 = -18

5/6 = 0.83

-1 = 1

Therefore, the correct ordering from least to greatest is

-18 < -1 < 1/4 < 0.3 < 5/6

Question 1.

The only fraction in this set of numbers is 4/ 9 and it is an improper fraction meaning it is less than 1; therefore, the correct ordering from least to greatest is

-11.2 < 0 < 4/ 9 < 3 < 5.2
