Step-by-step explanation:

1: Using a Place Value Chart, compare the whole numbers in your list of decimals.

2: Set up a table for the remaining numbers.

3: Transfer the decimals from your math problem into the table.

4: Compare the digits in the tenths column of the table

5: Compare the hundredths column (2 to the right of the decimal point).

6: Examine the digits in the thousandths column.

7: Order the numbers from least to greatest.

- 27.08 - 2nd because 0 is the least/lower number than 8 (tenths value)

- 27.88 - 4th because there are two numbers after the decimal which are greater than the others (tenths & hundredths value)

- 27.8 - 3rd because there is only one number after the decimal (tenths value)

- 26.78 - 1st because 6 is the least number than 7 (tens value)

Explanation in words (Short Form)

- Using the place value chart I can count the lowest number in the tens value that will be the first least number. I will progress my way up until I will eventually find the least to greatest numbers because of there decimal points and numbers after the decimals.

Reference: Place value chart

Answer:

26.78, 27.08, 27.8, 27.88

Hope this helps.
