Question

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

\\(-9\\) \\(-8\\) \\(15\\) \\(7\\) \\(-4\\) \\(-10\\)

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Comparing and Ordering Integers

Step 1: Separate negative and positive numbers

Identify the two groups of numbers:

• Negative numbers: \(-10, -9, -8, -4\)
• Positive numbers: \(7, 15\)

Step 2: Order the negative numbers

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

$$ -10 < -9 < -8 < -4 $$

Step 3: Order the positive numbers

Order the remaining positive numbers from least to greatest:

$$ 7 < 15 $$

Step 4: Combine the ordered lists

Combine the negative and positive groups:

$$ -10, -9, -8, -4, 7, 15 $$

Answer:

-10, -9, -8, -4, 7, 15
