Answer:
The number that comes first when the numbers are listed from least to greatest is;
[tex]\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]And, arranging the numbers from least to greatest will give;
[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]Explanation:
We want to arrange the number given below from least to greatest;
[tex]\frac{1}{6},-3,\frac{-9}{2},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]From the list of numbers, let us simplify each of them to their approximate decimal.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}=0.1667 \\ -3 \\ \frac{-9}{2}=-4.5 \\ \sqrt{5}=2.236 \\ 4.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the given number, the highest negative number will be the least number.
Because the higher a negative number the lower it becomes.
The highest negative is -4.5 followed by -3.
So, arranging from the least to the greatest we have;
[tex]-4.5,-3,0.1667,2.236,4.6[/tex]Rewriting it in its initial form we have;
[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]Therefore, The number that comes first when the numbers are listed from least to greatest is;
[tex]\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]And, arranging the numbers from least to greatest will give;
[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]
