Hello. :)
So, in order to order numbers, you need to have them all in the same format. For example, in your case, half are fractions and half are decimals. If you want to order them, they all need to be either fractions or decimals.
Let's just convert them to decimals.
In order to do that, all you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. Do this to all of the fractions.
-3/10 = -0.3
1/2 = 0.5
Okay, so now all of our terms are in decimal form:
-0.3, 0.5, 0.3, -0.8
So let's start the Ordering process.
Begin with the negative numbers, since they are going to be the smallest.
We have -0.3 and -0.8. If they were positive, 0.8 would be larger. But, in terms of negatives, -0.8 is less than -0.3
So, we have -0.8, -0.3.
Now the positives:
0.5 and 0.3. Just looking at the decimals, you can see that 0.5 is greater than 0.3
So, from least to greatest your answer is:
-0.8, -3/10, 0.3, and 1/2
I hope this helped. :) Feel free to reply with any questions x
