To order the expressions from greatest to least, we can first convert each expression to improper fractions or compare them more directly.

  1. 10 7/9 = 10 + 7/9 = 10.777...
  2. -9 8/9 = -9 - 8/9 = -9.888...
  3. -10 4/9 = -10 - 4/9 = -10.444...
  4. -10 5/9 = -10 - 5/9 = -10.555...
  5. -10 8/9 = -10 - 8/9 = -10.888...

Now, ordering these from greatest to least:

  1. 10 7/9 (10.777...)
  2. -9 8/9 (-9.888...)
  3. -10 4/9 (-10.444...)
  4. -10 5/9 (-10.555...)
  5. -10 8/9 (-10.888...)

So the final order from greatest to least is:

  1. 10 7/9
  2. -9 8/9
  3. -10 4/9
  4. -10 5/9
  5. -10 8/9
