Question

Write the signed numbers in order from left to right. Show reasoning

Answer 1

As all the given numbers are negative, you ordered it by following the next:

`\begin{gathered} -a \\ -b \\ \\ a>b \\ \\ -a<-b \end{gathered}`

If a number with a negative sign (a) is greater than other number with a negative sign (b), number -a goes more on the left on a numbered line than number -b; then -a is less than -b

-a is further from 0 than -b

The given numbers ordered from least to greater are:

-1.5, -1.05, -0.5, -0.05, -0.005

`-1.5<-1.05<-0.5<-0.05<-0.005`
