Question

A number line going from negative 2 to positive 1. What is the correct order of the fractions from least to greatest? Point A: −11 3 Point B: −2 3 Point C: 1 3 Point D: −12 3 The correct order for the fractions is .

Answer 1

D, A, B, C

Explanation:

-12/3, or -4, is lowest

-11/3, or -3.6, is 0.3 more, therefore closer to 0.

-2/3, or -0.6, is much closer to 0, precisely 3 units closer.

1/3, or 0.3, is the only positive number, so it is the most amount.
