Answer 1

To put the numbers −32, 0.5, 9–√, and −2 in order on the number line, we first need to evaluate and compare the given numbers.

1. **−32**: This is already a simple negative number.
2. **0.5**: This is a positive number.
3. **9–√**: This represents 9 minus the square root of 9, which equals 9 - 3 = 6.
4. **−2**: This is another negative number.

Now, let's order these numbers from the smallest to the largest:

1. **−32**
2. **−2**
3. **6 (from 9–√)**
4. **0.5**

Putting them in order based on their letters:

A: −32
B: −2
C: 6 (9–√)
D: 0.5

So the ordered numbers on the number line are:

A: −32
B: −2
C: 6 (9–√)
D: 0.5
