Answer:

0.1201<0.121<0.131<0.137<0.139<0.14<0.1401<0.141<0.147<0.149

Explanation:

OK let's see the numbers:

0.131,0.141,0.121,0.139,0.1201,0.1401,0.14,0.147,0.149,0.137​

First off, we find the smallest number, We highlight the ones that have 1 for hundredth digit, looks like there's none!, try 2 for the hundredth digit:

0.131,0.141,0.121,0.139,0.1201,0.1401,0.14,0.147,0.149,0.137​

There's two! 0.1201 is smaller than 0.121, so 0.1201 one is smallest followed by 0.121.

What we already have:

0.1201<0.121

Then we find the decimals that have 3 for hundredth digit.

0.131,0.141,0.121,0.139,0.1201,0.1401,0.14,0.147,0.149,0.137​

There's three!

0.131 is smaller than 0.137 and both of them are smaller than 0.139.

What we already have:

0.1201<0.121<0.131<0.137<0.139

We now find the decimals that have 4 for hundredth digit.

0.131,0.141,0.121,0.139,0.1201,0.1401,0.14,0.147,0.149,0.137​

There's five!

We can see that 0.14 is smaller than 0.1401 is smaller than 0.141 is smaller than 0.147 is smaller than 0.149.

What we already have:

0.1201<0.121<0.131<0.137<0.139<0.14<0.1401<0.141<0.147<0.149

And this is the answer:

0.1201<0.121<0.131<0.137<0.139<0.14<0.1401<0.141<0.147<0.149

Have a nice day! :)
