Question

order the following numbers from least (top) to greatest number( bottom) . 0.40 , 0.489 , 0.430 , 0.480

Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{0.40 < 0.430 < 0.480 < 0.489}`

Explanation:

First you have to see the decimal places.

Than the number of digits there is.

So this is how we make it from least to greatest!

Since there is 3 numbers after the decimals in almost all of them...

Than let’s make ‘0.40’ into 3 numbers after the decimal too.

I am sure you have heard that if you add a ‘0’ to a decimal nothing will change right?

So let’s make 0.40 into 3 numbers after the decimal just like the other numbers!

Okay so first let’s add a zero to ‘0.40’... which now this turns into ‘0.400’

Now it will be more easier to compare least to greatest!

0.400 is the least, than comes 0.430, & than would be 0.480, & finally the greatest would be 0.489

Therefore the answer is 0.40 < 0.430 < 0.480 < 0.489.
