Question

How do you order the numbers `4.2821,4.6,4.028,4.28` from least to greatest?

Answer 1

`4.028, 4.28, 4.2821, 4.6`

Explanation:

First, let's find the smallest number.
Since the ones place are all `4`, let's look at the tenth decimal place.
`4.028` is the smallest since it's 10th decimal place is the smallest.

Now let's find the largest number.
`4.6` is the largest since it's 10th decimal place is the largest.

Now our last two numbers to compare are `4.2821` and `4.28`.

`4.28` is the same as `4.2800`, so if we compare `4.2821` to `4.2800`, you can see that `4.2800` is smaller.

So the order goes:
`4.028, 4.28, 4.2821, 4.6`
