    -4.6, - 4 1/9, 4.2, 4.6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    What I like to do is convert everything into either decimal form. This makes ordering a lot easier.

    This will leave you with:

    4.2

    -4.11

    -4.6

    4.38

    Negative numbers are lower than positive ones, so they will come first.

    -4.6, - 4 1/9, 4.2, 4 3/8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Convert to have all fractions with common denominator:

    4 2/10 = 42/10 * 36/36 = 1512/360

    -4 1/9 = - 37/9 * 40/40 = - 1480/360

    -4 6/10 = - 46/10 * 36/36 = - 1656/360

    4 3/8 = 35/8 * 45/45 = 1575/360

    Step 2: Order new fractions from least to greatest

    -1656/360, - 1480/360, 1512/360, 1575/360

    Step 3: Order with old fractions/decimals by looking at previous step

    -4.6, - 4 1/9, 4.2, 4 3/8

    Answer: - 4.6, - 4 1/9, 4.2, 4 3/8
