What list of numbers is ordered from least to greatest?A. 6 3/4, 6.57, -6.53, -6 1/4 B. -6.53, -6 1/4, 6.57, 6 3/4 C. 6 3/4, 6.57, -6 1/4, -6.53D. -6 1/4, -6.53, 6.57, 6 3/4

Answer 1

We need to take each list of numbers and determine if they are ordered from least to greatest:

A. 6 3/4, 6.57, -6.53, -6 1/4

This option cannot be the correct answer because it starts with positive numbers and ends with negative numbers (and negative number are smaller than positive numbers).

B. -6.53, -6 1/4, 6.57, 6 3/4

Here we do start with the negative numbers and then move to the positive numbers. So we don't discard this option.

we need to compare the value of each number in decimal form:
