Order the numbers from greatest to least. Ensure you are ordering as follows (use the number line to help you visualize this):

The largest number at the top, the smallest number at the bottom
(1 point)

|7|
-5
2^3
|-2|
√16
3^2

The numbers in order from greatest to least are:

7
|-2|
√16 (which simplifies to 4)
3^2 (which simplifies to 9)
2^3 (which simplifies to 8)
-5
