Question

put these numbers in order from least to greatest. 9\frac{7}{25}, 9.25, 9, -\frac{1}{4}, -0.44

Explanation:

Step1: Convert all to decimals

$9\frac{7}{25}=9 + \frac{7}{25}=9 + 0.28=9.28$; $-\frac{1}{4}=-0.25$

Step2: Compare negative numbers

$-9.44 < -0.25$ (smaller negative = less)

Step3: Compare positive numbers

$9 < 9.25 < 9.28$

Step4: Combine all in order

Negative numbers first, then positives

Answer:

$-9.44, -\frac{1}{4}, 9, 9.25, 9\frac{7}{25}$
