Answer 1

Problem Statement

The question gives us a couple of numbers in a list and we are required to order them from least to greatest.

Method

In order to solve this problem, we need to know the following rules:

1. Absolute number (| |):

This symbol is used to convert any negative number into a positive number. For example, the question gives us |-1.5| as part of the list in option 1. This is the same as 1.5. That is,

`|-1.5|=1.5`

2. Fractions with a numerator smaller than the denominator is less than 1 but greater than 0. In the question, we have two of such fractions. They are:

`(2)/(5),(3)/(4)`

3. Negative numbers are smaller than 0 and 0 is less than any positive number.

4. In order to know how to compare two fractions in order to know which is larger,
