Which set of integers are in the right order from least to greatest?
A. -8, 8, 6, l-7l, 5
B. l-7l, -8, 8, 6, 5
C. -8, 5, 6, l-7l, 8
D. 5, 6, 8, -8, l-7l
I'll be glad to check your answer.
I think the answer is D.
To determine which set of integers is in the right order from least to greatest, we need to compare the integers in each set and arrange them in ascending order.
A. -8, 8, 6, l-7l, 5
To compare |-7| and 5, we take the absolute value of -7, which is 7. So |-7| is greater than 5, making this set not in the correct order.
B. l-7l, -8, 8, 6, 5
In this set, we have |-7|, which is equal to 7. So, we can rewrite the set as 7, -8, 8, 6, 5. Now we can see that the order is from least to greatest, making this set in the correct order.
C. -8, 5, 6, l-7l, 8
Again, |-7| is equal to 7. So, we can rewrite the set as -8, 5, 6, 7, 8. Now, the order is from least to greatest, making this set in the correct order.
D. 5, 6, 8, -8, l-7l
We have |-7|, which is equal to 7. So, we can rewrite the set as 5, 6, 8, -8, 7. The order in this set is not from least to greatest, so this set is not in the correct order.
Therefore, the set that is in the right order from least to greatest is B. l-7l, -8, 8, 6, 5.
No.
-8 is not greater than 8
Look at a number line.
