Question

-√140 -14.76(repeating) 12.7
Order from least to greatest

Answer 1

To order the numbers \(-\sqrt{140}\), \(-14.76\) (repeating), and \(12.7\) from least to greatest, we first need to approximate \(-\sqrt{140}\).

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

2. **Convert \(-14.76\) (repeating)**:
- Since \(-14.76\) is a negative number, it is clear that this value is less than both \(-\sqrt{140}\) and \(12.7\).
- \(-14.76\) can be approximated as \(-14.76\) and is approximately \(-14.76\).

3. **Final comparison**:
- Now we have the approximate values:
- \(-\sqrt{140} \approx -11.83\)
- \(-14.76\)
- \(12.7\)

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

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