Question

Order the following numbers from least to greatest.
4 3⁄4, |-4 1⁄4|, 4 1⁄2, |-4|

Answer 1

|-4|, |-4 1/4|, 4 1/2, 4 3/4

Explanation:

The absolute value lines, | |, make the value inside of them positive. For example, the absolute value of -2 is 2. In this example, although -4 and -4 1/4 become positive, they are still lower than 4 1/2 and 4 3/4.
