#62.95#, #63.37#, #63.7#

Explanation:

#62.95#
#63.37#
#63.7#
^
First we look at the first number on the left to see which is the smallest.
As they are all the same we move onto the next number.

#62.95#
#63.37#
#63.7#
...^
As we can see for the second number one of the numbers is a #2# while the others have a #3# so that one gets written down first.
Note: We now know 62.95 is the smallest.

#63.37#
#63.7#
......^
As we see here the they have different third numbers, as #3# is less than #7# that is the next smallest so #63.37# is the second smallest

So now we know that the only one left #63.7# must be the biggest

Now order them from smallest number on the left to the biggest on the right.

#62.95, color(white)("dd")63.37, color(white)("dd")63.7#

A trick if you are ever not sure

Explanation:

#63.37 " is the same as "633.7xx1/10#

#62.95" is the same as "629.5 xx1/10#

#63.70" is the same as "637.0 xx1/10#

From this it is more strait forward to compare and decide on the order.

It is much better if you can compare the values in your head.
