set the numbers in order than start crossing them out left to right staring from the outter numbers. Then take the remaining two numbers add them and divide the new number by 2

First put them in numerical order: .32, .6, .68, .74, .91, 1.05. The median is the number in the middle: .68 and .74 are both in the middle. Since there are 2 numbers in the middle we find the average of them: add them together: .68+.74=1.42. Then divide that number by 2 (the number of addens you had): 1.42/2=.71. The median is .71 :)
