How do you order rational numbers from least to greatest?

Place them on a number line and read from left to right. For −3, 2.5, 1/2, −0.75 and 3 3/4 the order is −3 < −0.75 < 1/2 < 2.5 < 3 3/4.

How do you compare two negative numbers?

The number closer to 0 is greater. So −1.2 is greater than −1 1/4, and −7/8 is greater than −0.9, because they sit farther to the right on the number line.

How do you solve integer word problems?

Write rises and gains as positive numbers and drops and losses as negative numbers, then add. A diver at −35 feet swims down 12 feet and up 20 feet, so her elevation is −27 feet.
