EXPLANATION

In order to order the real numbers from least to greatest we need to consider that we need to draw a number line.

The line scale marks are equally spaced and usually represent integers.

To plot a real number:

Draw and label a number line

Find where the number is on the number line and place a dot on the numbers.

Plotting Real numbers on the Number Line

Example: Graph the number 3/2 and -3.5 on a number line.

Comparing Real Numbers:

In order to compare the real numbers, we need to replace the blank with > , < or = to make a true sentence.

Example:

2/7 < 0.5

3/2 > 0.5

4/4 = 1

When we are asked to order numbers from least to greatest we can use the number line to help us to plotting the numbers and reordering them.

A strategy we can use here is to convert the numbers to decimals and then plot and/or order them as requested.
