Question

Determine the correct order of the numbers from least to greatest. 1.3, -2.875, 6.75, -4, -1.67, -3.75, 3.5

Answer 1

By definition, the Positive numbers are those numbers greater than zero and Negative numbers are those numbers less than zero.

Therefore, you know that the Positive numbers are greater than the Negative numbers.

For this exercise it is also important to remember that the Absolute value of a number tells you its distance from zero on the Number line. The Absolute value of a number is always positive.

Knowing the above, you can set up that:

$-4<-3.75<-2.875<-1.67<1.3<3.5​<6.75$

Remember that this symbol means "Less than":

$<$

The answer is:

$-4,-3.75,-2.875,-1.67,1.3,3.5​,6.75$
