$- 2 π < - 5.5 < - \frac{26}{5} < - 5 < - \sqrt{24} < - 4 \frac{3}{4}$ $-2pi<-5.5<-26/5<-5<-sqrt24<-4 3/4$

Explanation:

It is apparent that $- 5.5 < - 5 < - 4 \frac{3}{4}$ $-5.5<-5<-4 3/4$

Now as $25 > 24$ $25>24$ , we have $- \sqrt{24} > - 5$ $-sqrt24> -5$ ; further as $2 π > 6$ $2pi>6$ , $- 2 π$ $-2pi$ is smallest and as $\frac{26}{5} = 5.2$ $26/5=5.2$ ,

the correct order from least to greatest is

$- 2 π < - 5.5 < - \frac{26}{5} < - 5 < - \sqrt{24} < - 4 \frac{3}{4}$ $-2pi<-5.5<-26/5<-5<-sqrt24<-4 3/4$
