Answer: -11/2, -5/7, 0.1, 4/5, 1.3

Explanation:

It might be easier to convert these fractions into decimals so let’s do that. -5/7 becomes about -0.7, 4/5 becomes 0.8, 1.3 is already a decimal, -11/2 becomes -5.5, and 0.1 is already a decimal. Negative numbers are less than positive numbers and -5.5 is a bigger negative number than -0.7, so -5.5 (-11/2) comes first and -0.7 (-5/7) comes second. 0.1 is less than 0.8 so 0.1 is third and 0.8 (4/5) is fourth. That leaves 1.3 as the greatest number. This gives us the list -11/2, -5/7, 0.1, 4/5, 1.3. Hope this helps!
