Answer 1

The answer would be B. .33, .3, .275, .25

Answer 2

option B

Explanation:

Tom was using wire of the following thickness .33mm, .275mm, .25mm, .3mm for some electrical work.

Order the wire from thickest to thinnest

Lets include some zeros after the decimal point and compare the numbers

0. 3 3 0

0. 2 7 5

0. 2 5 0

0. 3 0 0

we need to order the wire from thickest to thinnest

It meas we order from greatest to smallest

First compare the numbers from the left to right

3 in the tens place is the greatest

among 0.33 and 0.3 , 0.33 is the greatest

Among 0.25 and 0.275, 0.275 is the greatest

So the order is .33, .3, .275, .25

option B
