Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} -(-5)\text{ = 5} \\ (120)/(8)=15 \\ (2)/(3)\approx0.6667 \\ -1125 \\ 0.8 \\ -972 \\ (-14)/(51)=-0.2745 \\ 1 \\ \text{Arranging the rational numbers from the least to the greatest, we have:} \\ -1125,-972,-0.2745,0.6667,0.8,1,5,15 \\ \text{That is equivalent to} \\ -1125,-972,(-14)/(51),(2)/(3),(0.8),1,-(-5),(120)/(8) \end{gathered}`
