\newline

Order Items:

[-1 \frac{4}{20}][1 \frac{15}{25}][-1]

Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers and fractions to improper fractions for easier comparison. $\newline$ $-1 \frac{4}{20} = -1 + \frac{4}{20} = -1 + \frac{1}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}$ $\newline$ $1 \frac{15}{25} = 1 + \frac{15}{25} = 1 + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{8}{5}$
Compare Values: Compare the values of $-\frac{6}{5}$ , $\frac{8}{5}$ , and $-1$ . $-1$ as a fraction is $-\frac{1}{1}$ or $-\frac{5}{5}$ . Ordering: $\frac{8}{5}$ (which is $1.6$ ), $-\frac{5}{5}$ (which is $-1$ ), $-\frac{6}{5}$ (which is $\frac{8}{5}$ $1$ ).
Write in Descending Order: Write the numbers in descending order based on the comparison. $\newline$ $1 \frac{15}{25} (\frac{8}{5})$ , $-1 (\frac{-5}{5})$ , $-1 \frac{4}{20} (\frac{-6}{5})$ .
