order the following numbers from least to greatest
3.34; 3.034; 3.403
Is this correct- 3.034; 3.34; 3.403
Right!
Thanks!
To order the given numbers from least to greatest, you need to compare the digits on the left side of the decimal point first.
Let's compare the first digit of each number:
3.034 - The first digit is 3.
3.34 - The first digit is 3.
3.403 - The first digit is 3.
Since all three numbers have the same first digit, we move on to the next digit on the right.
Let's compare the second digit of each number:
3.034 - The second digit is 0.
3.34 - The second digit is 4.
3.403 - The second digit is 0.
Now we can see that 3.034 is the smallest because it has the smallest second digit.
Next, we compare the second smallest number, which is between 3.34 and 3.403. Since the second digit is the same for both numbers (4), we need to compare the third digit on the right side:
3.34 - The third digit is 3.
3.403 - The third digit is 3.
Here, we can see that the third digit is the same for both numbers.
To determine the order between 3.34 and 3.403, we continue comparing the digits to the right of the decimal point. Since we have no more digits to compare, we can conclude that 3.34 is smaller than 3.403.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is 3.034, 3.34, 3.403.
You were correct!
