Question

Put these numbers to greatest to least negative 1 3/8 negative 0.4 negative 1.55 negative 9/16

Answer 1

Answer:

$-0.4, -\frac{9}{16}, -1\frac{3}{8}, -1.55$

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of numbers given:

$-1\frac{3}{8}, -0.4, -1.55, -\frac{9}{16}$

We need to arrange from greatest to least.

In order to arrange the numbers in descending order we will find the equivalent decimal value of each number.

a)$-1\frac{3}{8}=-1.375$

b) $-0.4$

c) $-1.55$

d) $-\frac{9}{16}=-0.5625$

Arranging the numbers in descending order

$b>d>a>c$   [since all the numbers are negative, so the number closest to 0 is the greatest]

Thus the correct order from greatest to least is:

$-0.4, -\frac{9}{16}, -1\frac{3}{8}, -1.55$ (Answer)
