Yes, the numbers will be similar.
it will be true if the numbers were -3, 5, -16 and -10
Step-by-step explanation:
The first list: -3, 5, 16 and -10
Arranging from least to greatest:
-10, -3, 5, 16
Arranging the same numbers from closest to zero to farthest to zero:
Let's use zero as our reference. Then start arranging towards the left and right side of it.
-10, -3, 0, 5, 16
Looking at the above: when we remove 0, we would have same answer as the arrangement from least to greatest:
-10, -3, 5, 16
The second list:
-3, 5, -16, -10
Arranging from least to greatest:
-16, -10, -3, 5
Arranging the same numbers from closest to zero to farthest to zero:
Let's use zero as our reference. Then start arranging towards the left and right side of it.
-16, -10, -3, 0, 5
Looking at the above: when we remove 0, we would have same answer as the arrangement from least to greatest:
-16, -10, -3, 5
Hence, fromt the above: if we arrange the same numbers from least to greatest and from closest to zero to farthest to zero, we would arrive at the same result.
