To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to convert them into decimal form for easy comparison:
1. 44/5 = 8.8
2. 62/7 ≈ 8.8571
3. √76 ≈ 8.7178
4. -8.74
Now we can list them:
– -8.74
– 8.7178 (√76)
– 8.8 (44/5)
– 8.8571 (62/7)
Ordering these gives us: -8.74, √76, 44/5, 62/7.
So the correct answer is C: -8.74, √76, 44/5, 62/7.
