Answer :
Final answer:
Option B is the correct answer (214, 2.23, -2, -215), as it properly lists the numbers from greatest to least considering their numerical values and taking into account that positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
Explanation:
To determine which list of numbers is ordered from greatest to least, let's consider the numerical value of each number. In this case, the largest number will have the highest value, and the smallest number will have the lowest value. Negative numbers are less than positive numbers, and the greater the absolute value of a negative number, the smaller it is.
214 is the largest positive number.
2.23 is smaller than 214 but still positive.
-2 is negative, and therefore smaller than any positive number.
-215 is negative and has a greater absolute value than -2, meaning it's the smallest number.
The correct order from greatest to least is 214, 2.23, -2, -215. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B, which lists numbers in that order.
