Question

order the numbers from least to greatest. - 12, 2\frac{1}{5}, \frac{11}{4}, - \frac{3}{2} order the numbers from least to greatest.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number and fraction to decimals

$2\frac{1}{5}=2 + \frac{1}{5}=2+0.2 = 2.2$, $\frac{11}{4}=11\div4 = 2.75$, $-\frac{3}{2}=-1.5$

Step2: Compare the numbers

We have $-12$, $2.2$, $2.75$, $-1.5$. Negative numbers are less than positive numbers. Among negative numbers, $-12<-1.5$. Among positive numbers, $2.2 < 2.75$.

Answer:

$-12,-\frac{3}{2},2\frac{1}{5},\frac{11}{4}$
