This list of numbers shows the absolute values of a set of rational numbers: 0.4, 1, 2 1/2, 4, 4.3, 7, 9.9. Can you determine the order of the rational numbers themselves?

• Yes, by arranging them in ascending order of their absolute values.

• No, because the actual values of the rational numbers are not provided.

• Yes, by converting each to a decimal and then arranging.

• No, because absolute values do not provide information about where to buy the best tacos
