Arrange in descending order: \(-3, 0, -1, -4, -3, -6\).
0, −1, −3, −3, −4, −6
List the numbers: ( -3 ), ( 0 ), ( -1 ), ( -4 ), ( -3 ), ( -6 ).
“Descending order” means from greatest to least.
On a number line, numbers to the right are greater.
(0) is greater than all negative numbers, so (0) comes first.
For negative numbers, the one with the smaller absolute value is greater.
Compare the negatives: ( -1 ) is greater than ( -3 ).
Both ( -3 )s are equal, so keep them together: ( -3, -3 ).
Then comes ( -4 ), and lastly ( -6 ) (the farthest left).
Write the final descending order:
( 0,, -1,, -3,, -3,, -4,, -6 )
