When it seems the negative number get bigger, they’re actually getting smaller. For example -13 is greater than -20. Plus, the absolute value would always be positive.
The answer to number 1 would be:
-15 < -8 8/9 < -3.3
The answer to number 2 would be:
15 < -3.3 < -8 8/9
I hope this helped, and have an awesome day! <3
