To order a group of decimals from least to greatest, we need to compare the decimals and arrange them in ascending order. Let's go through each option:
A. 5.6, 5.9, 5.09, 5.96, 5.136
To compare these decimals, we start by looking at the whole number part (5 in this case). Since they are all the same, we move to the tenths place. 5.09 is the smallest in the tenths place, followed by 5.136, 5.6, 5.9, and finally 5.96. Therefore, the correct order is: 5.09, 5.136, 5.6, 5.9, 5.96.
B. 0.112, 1.012, 1.3, 1.0099, 10.12
In this case, we start by comparing the whole number part. 0.112 is the smallest, followed by 1.0099, 1.012, 1.3, and finally 10.12. Therefore, the correct order is: 0.112, 1.0099, 1.012, 1.3, 10.12.
C. 2.8, 2.109, 2.72, 2.1, 2.719
Again, let's start by comparing the whole number part. All the decimals have the same whole number part (2). So, let's move on to the tenths place. 2.1 is the smallest in the tenths place, followed by 2.109, 2.72, 2.719, and finally 2.8. Therefore, the correct order is: 2.1, 2.109, 2.72, 2.719, 2.8.
D. 0.132, 0.23, 0.383, 0.3905, 0.392
Comparing the whole number part, all these decimals have 0 as the whole number part. So, let's look at the tenths place. 0.132 is the smallest in the tenths place, followed by 0.23, 0.383, 0.3905, and finally 0.392. Therefore, the correct order is: 0.132, 0.23, 0.383, 0.3905, 0.392.
In summary, the group of decimals ordered from least to greatest is:
A. 5.09, 5.136, 5.6, 5.9, 5.96
