Answer 1

Hi Dana from Hominy, OK. Have a great day at school.

Thank you for contacting Wyzant.

I am going to help you with however, I won't tell you the answer.

 

First, begin with drawing a numberline. You are aware of what that is. A line at some point a point identified with 0(zero).

Next, in your set of numbers, put or identify all the positive number on the right side of the zero and the negative numbers on the left side of the zero.

Two of the numbers are fractions, improper fractions. You will need to change the improper fractions to mixed fractions. You know how to do that, right? Here is how that is done:

       if I have   9/2, where does that go? Change it to a mixed fraction 

       with 9/2  divide 9 by 2...like this(9 ÷2 = 4 1/2) 

                       Correct? Make sure you understand.

Then the next think you need to do is find the square root of the numbers:

                        -(√2)    and   √64    which you should know how to do

 

I will help you with one, as it is a bit difficult: see my numberline below

       l       l       l        l       l       l       l       l       l       l       l       l             

     -5     -4     -3     -2     -1      0      1      2      3      4      5

with -23/5 change it like I did above  (-23 ÷ 5 = 4 3/5), so -23/5 is like:

 

                   l             l              l       

                 -5        -4 3/5         -4

                       or  -23/5

Let me know, if you need any further help.
