By the way, I'm really bad at math,
so I'm probably wrong here.
Put these decimals in order from least to greatest.
7.0, 0.07, 0.7, 0.077
my answer:
0.077, 0.07, 0, 7, 7.0
Am I close?
0.07, 0.077, 0.7, 7.0.
You're on the right track! To put these decimals in order from least to greatest, we simply need to compare the numbers.
Let's go through the decimals one by one:
0.07, 0.7, 0.077, 7.0
Comparing 0.07 and 0.7: We can see that 0.07 is smaller than 0.7 because it has fewer digits after the decimal point. So, 0.07 comes first.
Comparing 0.07 and 0.077: Both of these numbers have the same digits before the decimal point, but 0.07 has fewer digits after the decimal point. Therefore, 0.07 comes before 0.077.
Comparing 0.077 and 7.0: Here, we compare the whole numbers first. 0.077 is smaller than 7 because it is less than 1. Therefore, it comes before 7.0.
So, the correct order from least to greatest is:
0.07, 0.077, 0.7, 7.0
Keep in mind that when comparing decimals, the number of digits after the decimal point is important. If the whole numbers and the digits before the decimal point are the same, the decimal with fewer digits after the decimal point is smaller.
