Solution

The correct option is A

5.6


The given numbers are 5.6, -3, 0.5, 3

5.6 > 3 > 0.5 > -3

As we go from left to right on the number line, the value of the number increases.
So when we start from the right on the number line, the greatest number comes first. Of all the numbers given, 5.6 is the greatest. So it comes first.
