TEAS Math: Ordering Numbers

List the general steps to order numbers

1. Check the question: least to greatest OR greatest to least.

2. Scan for any negative numbers.

3. Convert every number to a decimal.

4. Use the process of elimination now, if you want.

5. Put the numbers in order yourself and check answer options--or examine answer options. Practice to find what works best for you.

6. You can also examine each answer option at a time--convert to a decimal in the order the numbers appear.

Order from greatest to least: -7, 0.6, -3, 2/9, 1/7

0.6, 2/9, 1/7, -3, -7

Order from greatest to least: 3/5, 1/4, 0.7, 0.32, 5/6

5/6, 0.7, 3/5, 0.32, 1/4

Order from least to greatest: √11, 7/11, 0.7, 7.11, √7

7/11, 0.7, √7, √11, 7.11

Order from greatest to least: -11, -3, 3/11, √121, 12
