Mason was ordering the following rational numbers in math class: -3.3, -15, -8 8/9.

a. Order the numbers from least to greatest.

b. List the order of their absolute values from least to greatest.

c. Explain why the orderings in parts (a) and (b) are different.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) -15, -8, -3.3, 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 8/9, -3.3(And I say its -3.3, because you need to write it in its original form.), so far its 8/9, -3.3, -8, -15.

c) Because the absolute value is the positive value of that number. (i.e, -3 is 3 places away from 0, so it's absolute value would be 3.)
