Which set of decimal numbers is in the order least to greatest?
A. .04,.004,.4,.043
B..004,.4,.043,.401
C..043,.401,.004,.04
D..004,.043,.4,.401
Think of these as money.
0.04 = 4 cents
0.004 = 4 tenths of a cent
0.4 = 40 cents
0.043 = 4.3 cents
That set is obviously not in order.
Which of the other choices do you think is in order?
i think c is the answer
Nope.
b is the answer
To determine which set of decimal numbers is in order from least to greatest, you need to compare the values of the decimals.
Let's analyze each option:
A. .04, .004, .4, .043
Starting with the smallest decimal, we have: .004 → .04 → .043 → .4
So, in increasing order, the decimals are: .004, .04, .043, .4
B. .004, .4, .043, .401
Starting with the smallest decimal, we have: .004 → .043 → .4 → .401
So, in increasing order, the decimals are: .004, .043, .4, .401
C. .043, .401, .004, .04
Starting with the smallest decimal, we have: .004 → .04 → .043 → .401
So, in increasing order, the decimals are: .004, .04, .043, .401
D. .004, .043, .4, .401
Starting with the smallest decimal, we have: .004 → .043 → .4 → .401
So, in increasing order, the decimals are: .004, .043, .4, .401
Comparing the results, option A has the decimals in the correct order from least to greatest: .004, .04, .043, .4.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
