Put these numbers from least to greatest.
-21, 60, -62, 9
Plunk them down on a sketch of a number line.
-62 will be way over on the left and 60 will be way to the right.
Thanks
To put these numbers in order from least to greatest, you will need to compare them with each other.
First, compare -21 with 60. Since -21 is negative and 60 is positive, we know that -21 is smaller than 60.
Next, compare -21 with -62. Both -21 and -62 are negative, so we need to look at their absolute values. The absolute value of -21 is 21, and the absolute value of -62 is 62. Since 21 is smaller than 62, -21 is greater than -62.
Now, compare -62 with 9. Again, -62 is negative and 9 is positive, so we know that -62 is smaller than 9.
By comparing all the numbers, the correct order from least to greatest is:
-62, -21, 9, 60
