Question

What is the order from least to greatest of the following: 0.6, −0.3, 3.3, and −3.5?

3.3, 0.6, −0.3, −3.5
0.6, −0.3, −3.5, 3.3
−0.3, 3.3, 0.6, −3.5
−3.5, −0.3, 0.6, 3.3

Answer 1

-3.5, -0.3, 0.6, 3.3

Answer 2

−3.5, −0.3, 0.6, 3.3

Explanation:

This is because negative numbers are less than positive numbers, and numbers with a smaller absolute value are less than numbers with a larger absolute value. Therefore, the smallest number in the given list is −3.5, followed by −0.3, 0.6, and finally 3.3. When we put the numbers in this order, we get the correct order from least to greatest.
