Question

-√140 -14.76(repeating) 12.7
Put these numbers in order from least to greatest

Answer 1

To order the numbers \(-\sqrt{140}\), \(-14.76\) (with \(14.76\) repeating), and \(12.7\) from least to greatest, we will first calculate \(-\sqrt{140}\):

1. **Calculate \(-\sqrt{140}\)**:
\(\sqrt{140} \approx 11.83\). Therefore,
\(-\sqrt{140} \approx -11.83\).

2. **Identify the numbers**:
- \(-\sqrt{140} \approx -11.83\)
- \(-14.76\) (repeating)
- \(12.7\)

3. **Compare the values**:
- \(-\sqrt{140} \approx -11.83\)
- \(-14.76\) is less than \(-11.83\).
- \(12.7\) is greater than both of the negative numbers.

Now, putting them in order from least to greatest:
- \(-14.76\) (repeating)
- \(-\sqrt{140} \approx -11.83\)
- \(12.7\)

Thus, the final order from least to greatest is:
\[
-14.76, -\sqrt{140}, 12.7
\]
