Question

00:00

Four friends race their bikes down the street.
Evan finishes in 6.2 seconds, Devon in 6.0999 seconds, Liza in 6.188 seconds, and Tasha in 6.168 seconds.
Which order shows the friends' times from fastest to slowest?

Answer 1

Devon finished first, because it took his 6.0999 seconds to race down the street. Tasha came in second, with 6.168 seconds. Liza got third place, because she finished the race in 6.188 seconds. Finally, in last place is Evan, who finished in 6.20 seconds.

I came to this by comparing place values. As you can see, I put the times in order from first to last.

6.0999 seconds
6.1680 seconds
6.1880 seconds
6.2000 seconds


Hope this helps :)
