(C) -0.323
(D) -0.0325
(E) -0.3205
On the number line, the greatest value is the one that is furthest to the right.
For example, -1 is greater than -2
If we examine -1 and -2 on the number line we get: ...-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4...
If we arrange the 5 answer choices on the number line, we get:
-0.323 -0.3205 -0.225 -0.0325 -0.0225
So, the greatest value is -0.0225
