Question

drag the numbers below to put them in order from least to greatest:

\\(-20\\) \\(-10\\) \\(17\\) \\(-8\\) \\(-15\\) \\(-14\\)

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Comparing and Ordering Integers

Step 1: Separate positive and negative numbers

Identify the sign of each number:

• Negative numbers: \(-20\), \(-10\), \(-8\), \(-15\), \(-14\)
• Positive numbers: \(17\)

Step 2: Order the negative numbers

For negative numbers, the further a number is from zero, the smaller its value:

$$ -20 < -15 < -14 < -10 < -8 $$

Step 3: Combine and order all numbers

Place the positive number at the end since all positive numbers are greater than negative numbers:

$$ -20, -15, -14, -10, -8, 17 $$

Answer:

-20, -15, -14, -10, -8, 17
