Question

Order the following numbers from biggest to smallest. Explain your method. 0,012 SV 0,637 0,125 0,01 0,9 0,871 0,925 0,87 0,62 (C)​

Answer 1

The numbers in order from biggest to smallest are: 0.925, 0.9, 0.871, 0.87, 0.637, 0.62, 0.125, 0.012, and 0.01.

Explanation:

To order these numbers from biggest to smallest, I compared the digits in each decimal place starting from the tenths place. For example, the number with the largest digit in the tenths place is 0.9. If two or more numbers have the same digit in the tenths place, I then compared the digits in the hundredths place and so on until I found which number was larger.
