To place the numbers in order from left to right on a number line, we need to compare their values.

The numbers are: -2.0, 0.25, -1.02, 1.98

  1. Negative numbers:

    • The most negative value is -2.0.
    • The next negative value is -1.02.
  2. Positive numbers:

    • The first positive number is 0.25.
    • The largest positive number is 1.98.

Putting it all together in order from left to right on a number line gives us:

-2.0, -1.02, 0.25, 1.98

Thus, the correct response is:

-2.0, -1.02, 0.25, 1.98
