Put the following decimals in order from least to greadest.
0.480, 0.495, 0.523, 0.54
Your are correct.
0.523,0.495,0.480,0.54
To order the given decimals from least to greatest, you need to compare their values. Here's a step-by-step process:
1. Start by comparing the first two decimals: 0.480 and 0.495
- The hundredth place in 0.480 is 8, while in 0.495 it is 9.
- Since 8 is less than 9, 0.480 is smaller than 0.495.
2. Next, compare the next decimal, 0.495, with 0.523
- The hundredth place in 0.495 is 9, while in 0.523 it is also 9.
- Move to the thousandth place, which is 5 in 0.495 and 2 in 0.523.
- Since 5 is smaller than 2, 0.495 is smaller than 0.523.
3. Finally, compare the last two decimals, 0.523 and 0.54
- The hundredth place in 0.523 is 9, while in 0.54 it is 4.
- Since 4 is smaller than 9, 0.54 is greater than 0.523.
So, arranging the decimals from least to greatest, we have:
0.480, 0.495, 0.523, 0.54
