Order the numbers below from least to greatest.
one fourth, negative 2, StartRoot 8 EndRoot, negative seven halves, 1.4
A. one fourth, negative 2, StartRoot 8 EndRoot, 1.4, negative seven halves
B. negative seven halves, negative 2, one fourth, StartRoot 8 EndRoot, 1.4
C. negative seven halves, negative 2, one fourth, 1.4, StartRoot 8 EndRoot
D. negative 2, negative seven halves, one fourth, StartRoot 8 EndRoot, 1.4
The correct order is:
B. negative seven halves, negative 2, one fourth, StartRoot 8 EndRoot, 1.4
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values.
The numbers given are:
- One fourth (1/4)
- Negative 2 (-2)
- √8 (√8 is approximately equal to 2.83)
- Negative seven halves (-7/2)
- 1.4
Arranging them from least to greatest, we get:
Negative seven halves (-7/2)
Negative 2 (-2)
One fourth (1/4)
√8 (approximately equal to 2.83)
1.4
Therefore, the correct order is:
C. negative seven halves, negative 2, one fourth, 1.4, StartRoot 8 EndRoot
