Answer: 6.5, 6.25, 6.05, 6.007

Explanation:

We need to look at each place value to see which one is the biggest. Since the units place is the same for all the numbers, let's look at the tenths place.

6.5, 6.25, 6.05, 6.007

Since 5 is the biggest number out of all that are underlined, 6.5 is the biggest one, and goes first.

2 is the second biggest number out of all that are underlined, so 6.25 goes second.

However, there are 2 numbers that have 0 in their tenths place, so we need to go one place value further: the hundredths place.

6.05, 6.007

Since 5 is bigger than 0, 6.05 goes third. 6.007 is the only number left, so it goes last.

Hence, the order is 6.5, 6.25, 6.05, 6.007
