Which answer choice shows the decimals in order from least to greatest?
a.0.013, 0.0104, 0.0118, 0.0108, 0.00149
b.0.00149, 0.0104, 0.0108, 0.0118, 0.013
c.0.013, 0.0118, 0.0108, 0.0104, 0.00149
d.0.013. 0.0118. 0.0108. 0.00149. 0.0104
To find this answer, you have to start from the tenths place in each answer and find the least value and go up in place value to analyze which answer choice has the correct order from smallest to largest.
A is incorrect because the second decimal value is smaller than the first, making it out of order.
B is correct because each value is increasing.
C is incorrect because the second value is smaller than the first, which makes the order incorrect.
D is incorrect because it makes the same mistake as option C.
Tip: line up the decimals vertically on a separate piece of paper to be able to analyze the decimals better. Write them to where the place values line up so that you can clearly compare the decimals. (As seen in the picture provided.)
