Solution Steps

To order fractions and decimals from least to greatest, we need to convert them to a common form for comparison. For fractions, we can find a common denominator and for decimals, we can compare them directly.

For the first example:

  1. Convert $\frac{3}{4} \cdot -\frac{7}{10}$ to a common form.
  2. Convert $-\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{8}{10}$ to a common form.
  3. Compare the results to determine the order.

For the second example:

  1. Compare the decimals directly to determine the order.
Step 1: Convert fractions and decimals to a common form

Given:

  • \( \frac{3}{4} \cdot -\frac{7}{10} = -\frac{21}{40} \)
  • \( -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{8}{10} = -\frac{3}{5} \)
  • Decimals: \([-0.3, 0.5, 0.55, -0.35]\)
Step 2: Order the fractions and decimals
  • Fractions from least to greatest: \([- \frac{3}{5}, -\frac{21}{40}]\)
  • Decimals from least to greatest: \([-0.35, -0.3, 0.5, 0.55]\)

Final Answer

\(\boxed{- \frac{3}{5}, -\frac{21}{40}, -0.35, -0.3, 0.5, 0.55}\)
