Which list shows the numbers below in order from least to greatest?5.78, -5.9, 58%, 23-5.9, 23. 5.78, 58%2.-5.9, 58%, 5.78-5.9, 23. 58%, 5.7858%, 23. 5.78, -5,9o

The numbers in the alternatives are the same, so we have to see which is the lowest to start with.
There are two negative ones: -5.9 and -23/4. Dividing the second one we have:
[tex]-\frac{23}{4}=-5.75[/tex]We can see that -5.9 is lower than -5.75. So we have only two alternatives left.
58% is equivalent of 58/100, so:
[tex]\frac{58}{100}=0.58[/tex]So 58% = 0.58, which is lower than 5.78.
So we have the order, from least to greatest:
-5.9, -23/4, 58%, 5.78.
This corresponds to the third alternative.
