Put the rational numbers in order on the timeline. Drag and drop them into their correct box. (4 points)

1 answer

It seems you would like help ordering rational numbers. Although I cannot drag and drop numbers directly, I can assist you in understanding how to order them.

To order rational numbers on a timeline, follow these steps:

  1. Convert all numbers to a common format if they are not in the same form (like fractions, decimals, or whole numbers).
  2. Identify the least: Start with identifying the smallest number.
  3. Order them: Place the numbers from the smallest to the largest.

Here's an example with some numbers: \( \frac{1}{2}, -1, 0, \frac{3}{4}, -\frac{1}{3}, 1 \).

  1. Convert to decimals:

    • \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
    • \( -1 = -1 \)
    • \( 0 = 0 \)
    • \( \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \)
    • \( -\frac{1}{3} \approx -0.33 \)
    • \( 1 = 1 \)
  2. List the numbers in order:

    • -1
    • -0.33 (or -1/3)
    • 0
    • 0.5 (or 1/2)
    • 0.75 (or 3/4)
    • 1

The ordered list from least to greatest is: \[ -1, -\frac{1}{3}, 0, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, 1 \]

Feel free to provide specific rational numbers if you need help ordering those!
