Question

Order the rational numbers below from greatest to least. -3/4 , .8, 1, -5.3 , 9. I'm not that smart so imma try to get this answer on here.

Answer 1

9, 1, .8, -3/4, -5.3

Explanation:

here is a visual guide. if you are moving along this number line from left to right, the numbers are increasing in value. if you are moving from right to left, the numbers are decreasing in value.

-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

since you only have one number that is a fraction (-3/4), convert it to a decimal. this will make it easier to visualize. -3/4 = -.75

Answer 2

it’s -5.3 then -3/4 then 1 then .8 and finally 9
