4.26, 4.62, 4.625

Explanation:

In order to help you understand, let's translate the decimals into mixed numbers.

#4.26# = #4# #26/100#

#4.62# = #4# #62/100#

#4.625# = #4# #62.5/100#

Because all of the numbers have the same denominator, you don't need to convert it.

All you need to do now is look at the numerator and figure out which is least to greatest.

#26# is the lowest number, so it must be the least.
#62# is smaller than #62# #1/2#, so it is in the middle, while #62# #1/2# is the greatest.

That's it for today. Remember to keep on learning!
