Answer:

In order of least to greatest:

-2 1/2, -3/8, 7/8, 2 1/2

Explanation:

First, we look at the negatives. Which one is the bigger number -2 1/2 or -3/8?

-3/8 is the bigger number, making the negative order on the left -2 1/2, -3/8.

Now we look at the positives. Which one is bigger, 7/8 or 2 1/2? 2 1/2 is the bigger number. Meaning the right side of the number line should look like 7/8, 2 1/2.

All together we get -2 1/2, -3/8, 7/8, 2 1/2

Answer: -4 1/3, -1/6, 5/6, 4 1/3

Explanation:

To the left of the number line we would have the negatives which are -4 1/3, and -1/6. Then, to the right we have 5/6 and 4 1/3 because they are positives. That's the order they would go in from left to right on the number line.
