Question

put these numbers in order from least to greatest.
\frac{18}{25}
1
-\frac{5}{8}
-\frac{1}{20}

Explanation:

Step1: Convert to decimals

$\frac{18}{25}=0.72$, $1=1$, $-\frac{5}{8}=-0.625$, $-\frac{1}{20}=-0.05$

Step2: Compare decimal values

Negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers; among negatives, $-0.625 < -0.05$; among positives, $0.72 < 1$

Step3: Order from least to greatest

Combine the comparisons to sort all numbers

Answer:

$-\frac{5}{8}$, $-\frac{1}{20}$, $\frac{18}{25}$, $1$
