To order the expressions from least to greatest, let's first convert them into improper fractions so we can easily compare them.

  1. -4 3/7 = -4 + (3/7) = -\(\frac{28}{7}\) - \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{31}{7}\)
  2. -4 6/7 = -4 + (6/7) = -\(\frac{28}{7}\) - \(\frac{6}{7}\) = -\(\frac{34}{7}\)
  3. -5 3/7 = -5 + (3/7) = -\(\frac{35}{7}\) - \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{38}{7}\)
  4. 4 2/7 = 4 + (2/7) = \(\frac{28}{7}\) + \(\frac{2}{7}\) = \(\frac{30}{7}\)
  5. 5 1/5 = 5 + (1/5) = \(\frac{25}{5}\) + \(\frac{1}{5}\) = \(\frac{26}{5}\) = \(\frac{78}{15}\) (this value is approximately 5.2)

Now, let's compare the values:

  • -5 3/7 (least): -\(\frac{38}{7}\) (approximately -5.43)
  • -4 6/7: -\(\frac{34}{7}\) (approximately -4.86)
  • -4 3/7: -\(\frac{31}{7}\) (approximately -4.43)
  • 4 2/7: \(\frac{30}{7}\) (approximately 4.29)
  • 5 1/5 (greatest): \(\frac{26}{5}\) (approximately 5.2)

Now, let's arrange them from least to greatest:

  1. -5 3/7
  2. -4 6/7
  3. -4 3/7
  4. 4 2/7
  5. 5 1/5

So the correct order from least to greatest is:

-5 3/7
-4 6/7
-4 3/7
4 2/7
5 1/5

the last one is supposed to be 5 1/7

Thank you for the correction. Let's redo the ordering with the updated expression \(5 \frac{1}{7}\).

  1. -4 \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -4 + \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{28}{7}\) - \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{31}{7}\)

  2. -4 \(\frac{6}{7}\) = -4 + \(\frac{6}{7}\) = -\(\frac{28}{7}\) - \(\frac{6}{7}\) = -\(\frac{34}{7}\)

  3. -5 \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -5 + \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{35}{7}\) - \(\frac{3}{7}\) = -\(\frac{38}{7}\)

  4. 4 \(\frac{2}{7}\) = 4 + \(\frac{2}{7}\) = \(\frac{28}{7}\) + \(\frac{2}{7}\) = \(\frac{30}{7}\)

  5. 5 \(\frac{1}{7}\) = 5 + \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{35}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{36}{7}\)

Now, let's compare the values:

  • -5 \(\frac{3}{7}\) \(\approx -5.43\) (-\(\frac{38}{7}\))
  • -4 \(\frac{6}{7}\) \(\approx -4.86\) (-\(\frac{34}{7}\))
  • -4 \(\frac{3}{7}\) \(\approx -4.43\) (-\(\frac{31}{7}\))
  • 4 \(\frac{2}{7}\) \(\approx 4.29\) (\(\frac{30}{7}\))
  • 5 \(\frac{1}{7}\) \(\approx 5.14\) (\(\frac{36}{7}\))

Now we can arrange them from least to greatest:

  1. -5 \(\frac{3}{7}\)
  2. -4 \(\frac{6}{7}\)
  3. -4 \(\frac{3}{7}\)
  4. 4 \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  5. 5 \(\frac{1}{7}\)

So the final order from least to greatest is:

-5 \(\frac{3}{7}\)
-4 \(\frac{6}{7}\)
-4 \(\frac{3}{7}\)
4 \(\frac{2}{7}\)
5 \(\frac{1}{7}\)
