Question

Choose the correct ordering of the numbers below from greatest to least.L. 779.56M. 29.7023N. 7.8695O. 0.8436P. 70.7540

Answer 1

When you order a number, you must check the number most in the left. The number L and the number M for example,

L. 779.56

M. 029.7023

In the hundreds place, L has a '7', and M has a '0', this means L is bigger than M.

Doing the same procedure with the other, we get the following order:

`\begin{gathered} 779.56>70.7540>29.7023>7.8695>0.8436 \\ L>P>M>N>O \end{gathered}`
