To order the absolute values from least to greatest, we first need to calculate the absolute value of each number in the lists provided:

  1. A:

    • 5/145/14
    • 4/74/7
    • 6/76/7

    Absolute values: 5/14, 4/7, 6/7

  2. B:

    • 2/32/3
    • 5/95/9
    • 2/92/9

    Absolute values: 2/3, 5/9, 2/9

  3. C:

    • 1/101/10
    • 4/54/5
    • 7/107/10

    Absolute values: 1/10, 4/5, 7/10

  4. D:

    • 3/83/8
    • 3/43/4
    • 7/87/8

    Absolute values: 3/8, 3/4, 7/8

Now let's order the absolute values from least to greatest in each list:

  • List A: 5/14, 4/7, 6/7
  • List B: 2/9, 5/9, 2/3
  • List C: 1/10, 4/5, 7/10
  • List D: 3/8, 3/4, 7/8

Next, we'll find the decimal approximations to compare the absolute values more easily:

  • 5/140.357

  • 4/70.571

  • 6/70.857

  • 2/90.222

  • 5/90.556

  • 2/30.667

  • 1/10=0.1

  • 4/5=0.8

  • 7/10=0.7

  • 3/8=0.375

  • 3/4=0.75

  • 7/8=0.875

Now, let's order the values from the lists:

  • A: 5/14(0.357),4/7(0.571),6/7(0.857) → Correctly ordered: 5/14<4/7<6/7
  • B: 2/9(0.222),5/9(0.556),2/3(0.667) → Correctly ordered: 2/9<5/9<2/3
  • C: 1/10(0.1),7/10(0.7),4/5(0.8) → Not correctly ordered (should be 1/10<7/10<4/5)
  • D: 3/8(0.375),3/4(0.75),7/8(0.875) → Correctly ordered: 3/8<3/4<7/8

Thus, the lists that show absolute values in order from least to greatest are:

  • A
  • B
  • D
