Question

Order the numbers from least to greatest.

$-1.4,\frac{8}{5},0.6,-0.9,\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

Step 1: Express each term as decimal

• $-1.4$
• $-\frac{8}{5}=-1.6$

• $0.6$
• $-0.9$
• $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Step 2: Arrange the decimals from least to greatest

$$\begin{gathered} -1.6,-1.4,-0.9,0.25,0.6 \\ -\frac{8}{5},-1.4,-0.9,\frac{1}{4},0.6 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, order of numbers from least to greatest is $-\frac{8}{5},-1.4,-0.9,\frac{1}{4},0.6$
