Plot 49, 40, and 44 on the number line.

Put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

key idea

You can use a number line to compare two numbers.

The number to the left is less than the number to the right.
The number to the right is greater than the number to the left.

solution

Find 49, 40, and 44 on the number line. Plot a point for each number.

Now, put the numbers in order from least to greatest. Look from left to right on the number line. 40 is the farthest to the left. 44 comes next. 49 is the farthest to the right.

This is the correct order.
