Order the integers from least to greatest 6, 11, 16, -8, -5
A. 16, 11, 6, -5, -8 ******
B. -8, -5, 6, 11, 16
C. -5 -8, 16, 6, 11
D. 11, 6, -8, -5, 16
You ordered them from greatest to least.
That should give you a hint.
your answer is exactly backwards...
great job
Its B hope that helps
To order the integers from least to greatest, you need to compare their values and arrange them in ascending order.
Let's start by comparing the first two numbers, 6 and 11. Since 6 is smaller than 11, 6 should come before 11 in the ordered list.
Next, we compare the next number, 16, with the previous numbers. Since 16 is greater than both 6 and 11, it should come after them in the ordered list.
Moving on to the negative numbers, we compare -8 with the previously sorted numbers 6, 11, and 16. Since -8 is smaller than all of them, it should come before them in the ordered list.
Finally, we compare the remaining number, -5, with the previously sorted numbers. Since -5 is greater than -8 but smaller than 6, 11, and 16, it should come immediately after -8, but before 6, 11, and 16 in the ordered list.
So, the correct order is: -8, -5, 6, 11, 16
Therefore, the correct option is B. -8, -5, 6, 11, 16.
