Question

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest:
1)-0.6
2) 0.714285¯
3) -3.670¯
4)−2.64575131

Answer 1

To order the numbers from least to greatest, let's first understand their values:

1. \(-0.6\) is simply -0.6.
2. \(0.714285\) (with a repeating decimal) is approximately 0.714285714285...
3. \(-3.670\) (with a repeating decimal) is approximately -3.670670670670...
4. \(-2.64575131\) is approximately -2.64575131.

Now, let's compare them:

- The smallest number is \(-3.670...\), which is less than both \(-2.64575131\) and \(-0.6\).
- Next is \(-2.64575131\).
- Then, \(-0.6\) is greater than both of the negatives.
- Finally, \(0.714285...\) is the largest.

Putting all of this together, the order from least to greatest is:

**-3.670¯, -2.64575131, -0.6, 0.714285¯**.
