Question

Order these numbers from least to greatest.
2.5, 2.304, 3.21, 2.34

Answer 1

2.304, 2.34, 2.5, 3.21

Explanation:

1. Look at the digit in the ones place. See how they are all 2s except for one 3? Well, now we know the one with the 3 must be the greatest, since 3>2.

2. Next, look at the digit in the tenths place. We have a 3, 3, and a 5. Since 5 > 3, we know thar 2.5 is the second greatest.

3. Last, look at the hundreths place. We have a 0 and a 4. Since 4 > 0, that means 2.34 is the third greatest.

4. Since this is from least to greatest, put 2.304 first and the others as follows in the answer. Hope this helps.
