Question

Put the following numbers in order of smallest to largest (biggest)

9.6 5 9.5 5.3 3.9
7.9 1.7 2.7 6.6 1.6

Answer 1

To arrange the numbers from smallest to largest: 1.6, 1.7, 2.7, 3.97, 5, 5.3, 6.6, 7.9, 9.5, 9.6. This ensures an ascending order from the lowest to the highest number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging Numbers from Smallest to Largest

To arrange the given numbers from smallest to largest, we first compare the whole numbers and then the decimal fractions. Here is the ordered list:

1. 1.6
2. 1.7
3. 2.7
4. 3.97
5. 5
6. 5.3
7. 6.6
8. 7.9
9. 9.5
10. 9.6

This order is achieved by comparing each number and placing them in ascending order, which means starting with the lowest value and incrementing to the highest value. The sequence follows standard rules of numerical order where each digit is considered from left to right, with the numeral of higher place value taking precedence. Decimals are compared at each decimal place.
