Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest?

  1. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36

  2. -3/4, -0.45, -2, 0.36, 3%

  3. -0.45, -2, -3/4, 3%, 0.36

  4. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 0.36, 3%

The correct answer is: -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36

To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, it's necessary to convert all values into a common format for easier comparison. In this case, let's express everything as decimal numbers. - The number -2 is already in decimal form. - The fraction -3/4 is equal to -0.75 when converted to a decimal. - The decimal -0.45 is already in decimal form. - The percentage 3% is equivalent to 0.03 in decimal. - Lastly, the decimal 0.36 is already in decimal form. Now, let's rewrite the values in decimal form: - -2 - -0.75 - -0.45 - 0.03 (from 3%) - 0.36 Now we can arrange these decimals in order from least to greatest: 1. -2 2. -0.75 (-3/4) 3. -0.45 4. 0.03 (3%) 5. 0.36 The correct order of these numbers from least to greatest is: -2, -0.75, -0.45, 0.03, 0.36 This matches the first option provided. Therefore, the correct ordering
