Question

Arrange the following numbers from the greatest to the least:" 3.608, 36.08, 360.8, 36080"

A) 36.08
B) 360.8
C) 3.608
D) 36080

Answer 1

The arrangement of the numbers from greatest to least is 36080, 360.8, 36.08, 3.608, corresponding to the options D, B, A, C respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the provided numbers from the greatest to the least, we must compare each number's place value. Starting from the leftmost digit, we compare each number's value:

1. 36080 (D) is the greatest because it has the highest place value digit (3 in the ten thousands place).
2. 360.8 (B) is next, as it has a 3 in the hundreds place, which is less than the ten thousands but more than the following numbers.
3. 36.08 (A) comes afterward as it has a 3 in the tens place, which is smaller than hundreds but greater than units.
4. 3.608 (C) is the least because it starts with 3 in the units place, which is the smallest compared to the tens, hundreds, and ten thousands places of the other numbers.

Therefore, the numbers arranged from greatest to least are: 36080, 360.8, 36.08, 3.608 (D, B, A, C).
