Example Question #834 : Fractions

Arrange these numbers from least to greatest:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To arrange negative numbers from least to greatest, we must arrange them so that their absolute values (values without the negative symbol) go from greatest to least.

This can be done by going from right to left starting with the units digit. The units and tenths digits are the same, but the hundredths digit of 0.40444 is the least, so this number is less than the other two. The thousandths digit of 0.44044 is less than that of 0.44404, so it is the lesser of the two that remain. Therefore, in descending order, the absolute values are 

,

and in ascending order, the numbers are
