Least to greatest {-3.32,-3.3 repeating, -3.4,-3.2}

Question

How do I know what is close to the whole negative number? I'm not good with negatives. I know when you get deeper in the negatives you get smaller. But how do you know?

Answer 1

{-3.32,-3.3 repeating, -3.4,-3.2}

For least to greatest with negatives, simply ignore the negative sign (in your head anyway) and order the numbers from greatest to least. Make sure to remember the negative sign.

So the answer would be -3.4,-3.33,-3.32,-3.2 Remember, the closer you get to zero the larger the negative number.

Answer 2

-3.4 -3.333333 -3.32 -3.2

Ordered from least to greatest.

Imagine if the negative sign werent there.

The order would be the exact opposite.

So if it seems counter intuitive to you with a negative sign, order the numbers from smallest to greatest without the negative sign and just flip the order when you add the sign back
