Question

How do you arrange 0.005, 0.06, 0.045 0.405, 0.45, and 0.40 from smallest to largest?

Answer 1

Arranging them from smallest to largest the number are `{0.005,0.045,0.06,0.40,0.405,0.45}`

Explanation:

To arrange or compare decimal fractions, one needs to convert them to a form, where all decimal fractions are up to same place of decimal. Here some are up to `2` places of decimal and othets are up to `3` places of decimal. So we add a `0` in decimal fractions which are up to `2` places of decimal,

Thus `{0.005,0.06,0.045,0.405,0.45,0.40}` become `{0.005,0.060,0.045,0.405,0.450,0.400}` and arranging them from smallest to largest they are

`{0.005,0.045,0.060,0.400,0.405,0.450}` or

`{0.005,0.045,0.06,0.40,0.405,0.45}`
