3.6 is 3 9/30, 5.5 is 5 15/30, 3 4/5 is 3 24/30 and 5 2/3 is 5 20/30

B and D are both negatives, so they will be at the head of the line but you’ll have to help him figure out which comes first.

Show your brother how you arrived at the fractions and then have him line them up, cognizant of the fact that two are positive numbers and two are negative numbers.

So the order would be -5 2/3, -5.5, 3.6, and 3 4/5

first, convert the fractions to decimals.

a = 3.6

b = -5.5

c = 3.8 (because that is 4 divided by 5 or also 8 tenths)

d = -5.6666666666666666666666666666666666

so, if “left is less,”and we are putting them in ascending order (which means smallest, getting larger), then

d is the smallest

b is the next largest

a is the next largest, and

c is the largest

so choice 2) is correct

3 4/5 is 3 8/10 is 3.8

-5 2/3 , -5.5 , 3.6 , 3 4/5

d,b,a,c,

so answer is 2

3)d, b, c, a

This is because -5 3/4 is -5.6 and b, -5.5, is lower of course.

and then c, 3 4/5 is 3.8 and a is 3.6 so 3 4/5 is bigger so the answer is

d, b, c, a

Solution: (change the mixed fraction to a whole no.)

c=3×5+4

= 19/5

= 3.8

d=-5×3+2

= -17/3

= -5.67

Clearly show that smallest is d, follow by b, a and c.

ascending means going higher

so neg 5 .18 as a dec then neg 5.5 then 3.6 then 3.75 if you make them all decimals or all fracs its easier to tell

d= -5.667

therefore accending order is d, b, a, c
