To convert each number to an equivalent form and order them from least to greatest, we need to understand the different representations of the numbers provided:
1. 1.85: This is a decimal number.
2. -0.8: This is a negative decimal number.
3. 1: This is a whole number.
4. -85%: This is a percentage.
To compare these numbers, we need to convert them into a common form. Let's convert them into decimals for easier comparison:
1. 1.85 remains as 1.85.
2. -0.8 remains as -0.8.
3. 1 as a whole number can be written as 1.0 to make it a decimal.
4. To convert -85% to a decimal, we divide by 100: -85% = -85/100 = -0.85.
Now, the numbers in decimal form are:
- 1.85
- -0.8
- 1.0
- -0.85
Ordering them from least to greatest:
- -0.85
- -0.8
- 1.0
- 1.85
Therefore, the numbers ordered from least to greatest are: -0.85, -0.8, 1.0, 1.85.
