To order the given values from least to greatest, we first need to evaluate any expressions and convert everything into comparable decimal form where necessary.

Let's evaluate the values given:

  1. \(1 \) is simply 1.
  2. \(2\) is simply 2.
  3. \(2.75\) is already in decimal form.
  4. \(16\sqrt{16} = 16 \times 4 = 64\).
  5. \(16\) is simply 16.
  6. \(3\) is simply 3.
  7. \(14\frac{1}{4} = 14 + 0.25 = 14.25\).
  8. \(-0.5\) is simply -0.5.
  9. \(-1\frac{1}{4} = -1 - 0.25 = -1.25\).

Now, let's compile all of these values into a list:

  • \(-1.25\)
  • \(-0.5\)
  • \(1\)
  • \(2\)
  • \(2.75\)
  • \(3\)
  • \(14.25\)
  • \(16\)
  • \(64\)

Now we can order them from least to greatest:

  1. \(-1\frac{1}{4}\) (-1.25)
  2. \(-0.5\)
  3. \(1\)
  4. \(2\)
  5. \(2.75\)
  6. \(3\)
  7. \(14\frac{1}{4}\) (14.25)
  8. \(16\)
  9. \(16\sqrt{16}\) (64)

So the ordered list from least to greatest is:

  1. \(-1\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. \(-0.5\)
  3. \(1\)
  4. \(2\)
  5. \(2.75\)
  6. \(3\)
  7. \(14\frac{1}{4}\)
  8. \(16\)
  9. \(16\sqrt{16}\)

You can now drag and drop the values into the correct locations on the number line based on this order.

where on the number line?

To place the evaluated values on the number line, here's a breakdown of their approximate locations:

  1. \(-1.25\): This value is to the left of -1, approximately between -1.5 and -1 on the number line.

  2. \(-0.5\): This value is between -1 and 0, closer to 0.

  3. \(1\): This value is exactly at 1 on the number line.

  4. \(2\): This value is exactly at 2 on the number line.

  5. \(2.75\): This value is between 2 and 3, closer to 3 (specifically, halfway between 2.5 and 3).

  6. \(3\): This value is exactly at 3 on the number line.

  7. \(14.25\): This value is between 14 and 15, closer to 14.

  8. \(16\): This value is exactly at 16 on the number line.

  9. \(64\): This value is much further to the right, specifically at 64.

Summary of placements on the number line:

  • \(-1.25\) is at approximately -1.25
  • \(-0.5\) is at -0.5
  • \(1\) is at 1
  • \(2\) is at 2
  • \(2.75\) is at 2.75
  • \(3\) is at 3
  • \(14.25\) is at 14.25
  • \(16\) is at 16
  • \(64\) is at 64

Visual Representation

If you visualize a horizontal line:

-2          -1          0          1          2          3         14          16          64
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
                          -1.25     -0.5      1          2         2.75        3        14.25       

This is how they would be positioned along the number line. If you have a number line graphic, you can place the numbers accordingly.

what about -1/4

Thank you for pointing that out! Let's clarify the values again, including \(-1/4\):

Given Values for Re-Evaluation

  1. \(1\): simply 1
  2. \(2\): simply 2
  3. \(2.75\): already in decimal form
  4. \(16\sqrt{16}\): evaluates to \(64\)
  5. \(16\): simply 16
  6. \(3\): simply 3
  7. \(14\frac{1}{4}\): evaluates to \(14.25\)
  8. \(-0.5\): simply \(-0.5\)
  9. \(-1\frac{1}{4}\): evaluates to \(-1.25\)
  10. Adding: \(-\frac{1}{4}\): which is \(-0.25\)

Evaluated and Revised Values

Here’s the complete list of evaluated values including \(-\frac{1}{4}\):

  • \(-1.25\) (from \(-1\frac{1}{4}\))
  • \(-0.5\)
  • \(-0.25\) (from \(-\frac{1}{4}\))
  • \(1\)
  • \(2\)
  • \(2.75\)
  • \(3\)
  • \(14.25\) (from \(14\frac{1}{4}\))
  • \(16\)
  • \(64\) (from \(16\sqrt{16}\))

Ordering the Values from Least to Greatest

Now we can order them from least to greatest:

  1. \(-1.25\)
  2. \(-0.5\)
  3. \(-0.25\)
  4. \(1\)
  5. \(2\)
  6. \(2.75\)
  7. \(3\)
  8. \(14.25\)
  9. \(16\)
  10. \(64\)

Placing on the Number Line

Here’s where each value would be positioned on a number line:

  1. \(-1.25\): between -1.5 and -1
  2. \(-0.5\): at -0.5
  3. \(-0.25\): between -0.5 and 0, but closer to -0.5
  4. \(1\): directly at \(1\)
  5. \(2\): directly at \(2\)
  6. \(2.75\): between \(2.5\) and \(3\), closer to \(3\)
  7. \(3\): directly at \(3\)
  8. \(14.25\): between \(14\) and \(15\), closer to \(14\)
  9. \(16\): directly at \(16\)
  10. \(64\): directly at \(64\)
