Question

A number line shows the following numbers: −32
, 0.5, 9–√
, −2
. Put them in the correct order on the number line.(2 points)
Remaining Attempts : 3

Answer 1

To order the numbers \(-32\), \(0.5\), \(9 - \sqrt{9}\), and \(-2\) on a number line, we need to evaluate where each number falls.

1. **Evaluate \(9 - \sqrt{9}\)**:
- \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), so \(9 - \sqrt{9} = 9 - 3 = 6\).

Now we have the numbers:
- \(-32\)
- \(-2\)
- \(0.5\)
- \(6\)

2. **Order the numbers from least to greatest**:
- The least number is \(-32\).
- Next is \(-2\).
- Then comes \(0.5\).
- Finally, \(6\).

Thus, the correct order of the numbers on the number line is:

\[
-32, -2, 0.5, 6
\]
