Final answer:

The list of numbers from smallest to largest is 0.05, 0.2, 0.48, 0.6. This is the correct order as it ascends from the smallest decimal to the largest, considering the place values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked which list is ordered from smallest to largest. The correct answer is the first list: 0.05, 0.2, 0.48, 0.6. This is because when we compare decimal numbers, we start with the leftmost digit and move to the right. The smallest number starts with the digit 0 in the tenths place, followed by these with 2 in the tenths place, and so on. Thus, the numbers in ascending order are 0.05 (smallest), 0.2, 0.48, and 0.6 (largest). Other given options have the numbers out of order, and therefore, are incorrect.
