The arrangement of integers 20, -1, 0, -5, -21, -9 in ascending order is

• A. 0, 20, -1, -9, -5, -21
• B. -5, 0, -1, -21, 20, 9
• C. 20, -9, 0, -1, -5, -21
• D. -21, -9, -5, -1, 0, 20

Answer 1

The correct option is D

-21, -9, -5, -1, 0, 20

Ascending order means arranging the numbers from smallest to highest.
Smallest number is the highest negative number, which is -21.
Then the highest negative number from the remaining numbers is -9
Then -5 followed by -1.
0 is greater than negative numbers and smaller than positive numbers.
The highest number is 20.
So the arrangement in ascending order is -21, -9, -5, -1, 0, 20
