Order the following from greatest to least: 20, −22, |−45|, |−49|.
The order from greatest to least is:
|−49| > |−45| > 20 > −22
To order the given numbers from greatest to least, we will evaluate each number and arrange them accordingly:
1. |−49| = 49: The absolute value of −49 is 49.
2. |−45| = 45: The absolute value of −45 is 45.
3. 20: This is a positive number.
4. −22: This is a negative number.
Now, let's arrange them in descending order:
49, 45, 20, −22
Therefore, the correct order from greatest to least is 49, 45, 20, −22.
