Best Answer

Putting them in ascending order.

For example: 17, 29, 23

Compare 17 & 29. They are in order. So leave them

Compare 29 & 23. They are out of order. Swap them

We now have 17, 23, 29 - they are in order.

Ordering the list from smallest to highest: 2, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 11, 11, 44. From the list, how many are greater than 8? Answer: 4 are greater than 8 (9, 11, 11, 44). When the numbers are ordered it makes comparison easier.
