Question

20,−22,∣−45∣,∣−49∣

□ □ □ □

Answer 1

To order the numbers from greatest to least, we first evaluate the absolute values and then compare them.

The numbers are:

• 20
• -22
• |−45| which is 45
• |−49| which is 49

Now we list them in order from greatest to least:

1. |−49| = 49
2. |−45| = 45
3. 20
4. -22

So the order from greatest to least is:

49, 45, 20, -22

Thus the final answer is:

□ 49
□ 45
□ 20
□ -22
