S2.256 T2.22 U2.099 V2.71

Which list shows the lizards in order from greatest to least length in inches?

A)
U, S, T, V


B)
T, U, S, V


C)
S, U, T, V


D)
V, S, T, U

Answer 1

D) V, S, T, U

Explanation:

Note that the question is asking for the order from greatest to least. In the case of decimals, I find it easier to compare by placing them in a line going down and filling in zeros where needed to make them the same place values:

2.256 - S

2.220 - T

2.099 - U

2.710 - V

Since they all have the same first digit, I will look at the next digit following the decimal. '7' is the greatest, then '25', then '22' then '09':

D) V, S, T, U
