For these problems, it's easiest to convert everything to a decimal. So:
- = -0.5; 0.8; 2; 10% = 0.10; 1 = 1.25
Now you have:
-0.5; 0.8; 2; 0.10; 1.25
Least will always be the negative with the greatest number (-8 < -4), so our first number would be -0.5. Then comes 0.10 because it is closest to 0. After that is 0.8. Then, you have your numbers greater than one, so you have 1.25, then 2. Here's the order:
-, 10%, 0.8, 1 , 2
Hope I helped :)
