−2.0, −1.02, 0.25, 1.98
To place the numbers in order on a number line, you need to compare their values. Let's go through each number and compare them to each other:
First, compare -1.02 and -2.0. Since -2.0 is a smaller value, -2.0 comes first. So far we have: -2.0.
Next, compare 0.25 and -2.0. 0.25 is larger than -2.0, so it comes after -2.0. So far we have: -2.0, 0.25.
Now, compare 0.25 and 1.98. 1.98 is larger than 0.25, so it comes after 0.25. So far we have: -2.0, 0.25, 1.98.
Finally, compare -1.02 and 1.98. Since -1.02 is smaller than 1.98, it comes before 1.98. So the final order is: -2.0, -1.02, 0.25, 1.98.
Therefore, the correct answer is: -2.0, -1.02, 0.25, 1.98.
