To determine the correct order from least to greatest for the given numbers, we need to convert them all to decimal form for easier comparison:

  1. Negative 1 and one-half is -1.5
  2. Negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction is -0.875
  3. Negative one-half is -0.5
  4. One-half is 0.5

Now let's list these values in decimal form:

  • -1.5
  • -0.875
  • -0.5
  • 0.5

Now we can order them from least to greatest:

  • Negative 1 and one-half (-1.5)
  • Negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction (-0.875)
  • Negative one-half (-0.5)
  • One-half (0.5)

Putting this into the original format:

Negative 1 and one-half, Negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction, negative one-half, one-half

So, the answer is: Negative 1 and one-half, Negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction, negative one-half, one-half.
