Which list shows the numbers in order from greatest to least?
A. 0.456, 0.789, 0.922, 0.241
B. 0.922, 0.456, 0.241, 0.789
C. 0.456, 0.241, 0.789, 0.922
D. 0.241, 0.922, 0.789, 0.456
To determine which list shows the numbers in order from greatest to least, we need to compare the numbers in each list.
For option A:
0.456 is the largest number in this list.
0.789 is smaller than 0.922 but larger than 0.456.
0.922 is larger than both 0.789 and 0.456.
0.241 is the smallest number in this list.
For option B:
0.922 is the largest number in this list.
0.456 is smaller than 0.922 but larger than 0.241.
0.241 is smaller than both 0.456 and 0.922.
0.789 is the smallest number in this list.
For option C:
0.456 is the largest number in this list.
0.241 is smaller than 0.456 but larger than 0.789.
0.789 is smaller than both 0.241 and 0.456.
0.922 is the smallest number in this list.
For option D:
0.241 is the largest number in this list.
0.922 is smaller than 0.241 but larger than 0.789.
0.789 is smaller than both 0.241 and 0.922.
0.456 is the smallest number in this list.
Therefore, the list that shows the numbers in order from greatest to least is option B:
0.922, 0.456, 0.241, 0.789.
The list that shows the numbers in order from greatest to least is:
D. 0.241, 0.922, 0.789, 0.456
