Question

order from least to greatest2.88, -2.98, -2 9/10

Answer 1

Given the numbers:

$\begin{gathered} 2.88 \\ -2.98 \\ \\ -2\frac{9}{10} \end{gathered}$

You can identify that the positive number is the greatest because positive number numbers are greater than negative numbers:

$2.88$

You can convert the Mixed Number to a Decimal Number as follows:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

2. Add the result to the whole number part.

Then, you get:

$-2\frac{9}{10}=-(2+\frac{9}{10})=-(2+0.9)=-2.9$

Now you can identify that:

$-2.98<-2.9$

Because -2.9 is closer to zero than -2.98.

Hence, you can order them from least to greatest:

$-2.98,-2\frac{9}{10},2.88$

Therefore, the answer is:

$-2.98,-2\frac{9}{10},2.88$
