Answer :

To order the integers from least to greatest, we need to arrange them in ascending order. Let's take a look at the list of integers we have:

210, -15, 7, -112, 38, -97.

We'll go through each number and arrange them starting with the smallest (most negative) to the largest (most positive):

1. Begin with the most negative number. Out of -112, -97, and -15, the smallest is -112.
2. Next, compare the remaining negative numbers, -97 and -15: -97 is less than -15, so it comes next.
3. The next in line is -15, as it is greater than -112 and -97, but still less than any positive numbers.
4. Now, move on to the positive numbers. Start with the smallest, which is 7.
5. After 7, the next smallest positive number is 38.
6. Finally, the largest number in the list is 210.

Putting these in order from the least to the greatest gives us:

-112, -97, -15, 7, 38, 210

The correct response that matches this order is:
