To organize numbers from greatest to least you:

1. Seoparate the possitive numbers from the negative numbers:

Possitive numbers are bigger than negatives,

You have some absolute values, the absolute values always will be possitive numbers as they are distances, then:


\mleft|a\mright|=\mleft|-a\mright|=a

Example:


\mleft|-6\mright|=6

Then so, the correct answer of numbers ordered from greatest to least is:


8,\mleft|-6\mright|,5,\mleft|-4\mright|,\mleft|1\mright|
