Which list below orders the numbers from least to greatest?

 
A.−8.9,89%,8.87,−71/8

B.−71/8,−8.9,8.87,89%

C.−8.9,8.87,−71/8,89%

D.−8.9,−71/8,89%,8.87


To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to convert them all into a common form for easy comparison. Let’s evaluate each value in decimal form:

1. **−8.9** (already in decimal form).
2. **89%** = \( 0.89 \).
3. **8.87** (already in decimal form).
4. **−71/8** = \( -8.875 \) (since \( -71 \div 8 = -8.875 \)).

Now, let’s list them in decimal form:
- **−8.9**
- **−8.875**
- **0.89**
- **8.87**

Ordering them from least to greatest:
1. **−8.9**
2. **−8.875**
3. **0.89**
4. **8.87**

The correct order is therefore:
**B. −71/8, −8.9, 8.87, 89%**

Here are five related questions for further practice:
1. Arrange the numbers \( -3.5, 7\%, 1.4, -1.25 \) from least to greatest.
2. Which is greater: \( -0.75 \) or \( -75\% \)?
3. Convert \( 12.5\% \) to a fraction and a decimal.
4. If \( x = -8.9 \) and \( y = -8.875 \), which is smaller, \( x \) or \( y \)?
5. How would you order \( 0.87, 87\%, -9, -8.7 \) from least to greatest?

**Tip:** When comparing numbers, converting all values to the same format (e.g., decimals) can simplify the process.
