Question

Order the numbers from greatest to least. Ensure you are ordering as follows (use the number line to help you visualize this):

Largest number at the top



Smallest number at the bottom

(1 point)
2(3)
|7|
3(2)
|-2|
-5
square root of 16

Answer 1

To order the numbers from greatest to least, let's first evaluate each expression and number:

1. \(2(3) = 6\)
2. \(|7| = 7\) (absolute value of 7 is 7)
3. \(3(2) = 6\)
4. \(|-2| = 2\) (absolute value of -2 is 2)
5. \(-5\) (remains -5)
6. \(\sqrt{16} = 4\) (square root of 16 is 4)

Now that we have evaluated the numbers, let's list them:

- \(7\)
- \(6\)
- \(6\) (from the \(2(3)\) and \(3(2)\))
- \(4\)
- \(2\)
- \(-5\)

Now, ordered from greatest to least:

1. \(7\)
2. \(6\)
3. \(6\)
4. \(4\)
5. \(2\)
6. \(-5\)

So, the final ordered list is:

- 7
- 6
- 6
- 4
- 2
- -5
