Question

order integers

question

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

18, -17, -11, -13, -12, 3

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Comparing and Ordering Integers

Step 1: Group by sign

Identify negative and positive integers:

• Negative integers: \( -17, -11, -13, -12 \)
• Positive integers: \( 18, 3 \)

Step 2: Order negative integers

Compare the negative values (further left on the number line means smaller value):

$$ -17 < -13 < -12 < -11 $$

Step 3: Order positive integers

Compare the positive values:

$$ 3 < 18 $$

Step 4: Combine the groups

Combine the ordered negative integers and positive integers from least to greatest:

$$ -17, -13, -12, -11, 3, 18 $$

Answer:

-17, -13, -12, -11, 3, 18
