Question

Write the following integers in ascending order (smallest to biggest)
$-5,2,1,-8$

Answer 1

Given integers are $-5,2,1,-8$.

As we know that number increases from left to right and number decreases from right to left .

Here, the least number is $-8$ and $-8<-5$

Largest number is $2$ and $1<2$.

Therefore , $-8<-5<1<2$

So, ascending order of $-5,2,1,-8$ is

$-8,-5,1,2$
