Question

Jenna just opened a checking account at the bank. Within the first month, she deposited three checks for $34.98, $51.02, and $51.22. She withdrew $5.23 for new pencils, $5.22 for cards, and $7.89 for movies from her account in the same month.
Order the rational numbers from least to greatest and explain your reasoning. Answer:

Answer 1

-7.89, -5.23, -5.22, 34.98, 51.02, 51.22

Lets break it down:
(Rational numbers consist of whole, numbers, integers, and fractions)
Negatives come after 0, so the greater the number gets, the less value it has, opposite of positive numbers.
So since -7.89 is the greatest negative number, it will have the least value.

Hope this helps!
