Arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest -4, 0, 1/2, -3/4, 2.5, , 0.75, -2.25
(I'm not exactly sure. I'm lost)
Thanks for being honest though
This looks hard! im not sure!
To arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest, you need to compare the values of the numbers and determine their relative positions. I can guide you through the process step by step:
1. Start by comparing the smallest numbers first. In this case, we have -4 and -3/4. Since -4 is less than -3/4, we write -4 first.
Now we compare the next smallest number with -4, which is -3/4.
2. Next, compare -3/4 with the remaining numbers, one by one. Comparing -3/4 with 0, we see that 0 is greater than -3/4, so -3/4 comes before 0.
Now we compare -3/4 with 0.75.
3. Continue this process of comparing -3/4 with each remaining number until we find the appropriate position for -3/4.
-3/4 is less than 0.75, so we write -3/4 before 0.75.
Next, we compare -3/4 with 1/2.
-3/4 is less than 1/2, so we write -3/4 before 1/2.
4. Now compare -3/4 with the remaining numbers, one by one. Comparing -3/4 with -2.25, we find that -3/4 is greater than -2.25. So, we write -2.25 before -3/4.
Now, we compare -3/4 with -2.25.
5. Next, compare -4 with the remaining numbers, one by one. Comparing -4 with 2.5, we find that -4 is less than 2.5. So, we write -4 before 2.5.
Now, we compare -4 with 2.5.
6. Lastly, compare -4 with the remaining numbers. Comparing -4 with 0, we find that -4 is less than 0. So, we write -4 before 0.
Now, the remaining numbers are 0, 0.75, 1/2, and 2.5.
7. Compare the remaining numbers to determine their positions in the order.
0 is less than 0.75, so we write 0 before 0.75.
Now, compare 0.75 with 1/2.
8. Lastly, compare 0.75 with the remaining number, 2.5.
0.75 is less than 2.5, so we write 0.75 before 2.5.
In summary, the numbers arranged in order from least to greatest are:
-4, -2.25, -3/4, 0, 0.75, 1/2, 2.5.
plot them on the number line, and it will be clear.
or, change the fractions to decimals. Then you have
-4.00, 0.00, 0.50, -0.75, 2.50, 0.75, -2.25
Now they should be easier to sort.
