Question

797.476 751.529 797.251 order the decimals from greatest to least please and thank you in advance. My daughter is in 5th grade and they are starting to do decimals. I know it says middle school but it didn't have the elementary school option for the grade level but yes she just started 5th grade and they just started decimals out of no where.

Answer 1

You have to order the following numbers from greatest to least

797.476

751.529

797.251

First order the values looking only at their integers. So first come the values with "797" and then the value with "751"

797.476

797.251

751.529

Now that you have the integers ordered you have to pay atention to the decimal values:

.476

.251

For this part you can order them using the same rules as when you order integers, meaning, 400 is greater than 200 so that value comes first:

797.476, 797.251, 751.529
