Answer:
Last option:
(-13, -12, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here you need to look at a number line.
(an infinite line with the zero in the middle, at the left we have the negative numbers which increase to the left, and at the right, we have the positive numbers that increase to the right)
for any two pair of numbers in the number line, the number at the right is larger than the number at the left.
So for example, -10 is at the left of -3
Then:
-10 < -3.
Then a set is ordered from least to greatest if:
first we have the largest negative numbers
then the smaller negative numbers
then the zero (if there is a zero)
then the smaller positive numbers
then the largest positive numbers.
The only set that meets this condition is the last one:
(-13, -12, 9)
Why the others not meet this condition?
in the first one we have -9 after 5, and we know that -9 < 5
in the second one we actually have an order from greatest to least.
in the third one we have -8 at the right of 12, and we know that -8 < 12
