Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from smallest to greatest.
To rank, we check the tenths digit. are the smallest in the set.
Next, we look at the hundredths digit. is greater than , so the rank is .
Since the next three numbers have differnt tenths digit, we just put in numerical order.
Final answer should be
.
Example Question #11 : Ordering
Which decimal is the GREATEST?
The tenths digits are different. , , and are clearly bigger than the other two.
So now, we compare the remaining decimals.
, are exacty the same decimal with just more zeroes.
is clearly the biggest as it is much bigger.
Example Question #1321 : Sat Mathematics
Which decimal is the LEAST?
By looking at the tenths digit, are smaller than the other two.
Next, we look at the digits afterwards. is clearly the smallest out of the rest.
The others have more precise decimal places.
Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from smallest to greatest.
Since each decimal have the same tenths digit, we compare the hundredths digit. is the greatest of all decimals in the set since the rest have as the hundredths digit.
Next, we compare the rest.
The more s there are, the more precise the decimal.
is the order.
The final order is
.
Example Question #13 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Rank from least to greatest.
When dealing with negative numbers, remember the largest decimal is the least value which will be since their tenths digit is greater than the rest.
The rest of the order will be .
The hundredths digit in is greater than the rest.
So our order is
.
Example Question #14 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Which decimal is the greatest?
There is a in front of most decimals except which makes the rest bigger than this decimal.
Next, the ones with less zeroes means the value is bigger and further than .
We have a decimal with zeroes, another with zeroes, and lastly with zeroes.
The one with zeroes is the greatest decimal.
That value is .
Example Question #11 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Which decimal is the SMALLEST?
Remember, when dealing with negative numbers, the larger the decimal, the smaller the value.
We eliminate as it is the smallest decimal value, however the greatest with the negative sign present.
By comparing to the hundredths digit, has the highest hundredths digit but is the smallest value since we have a negative sign present.
is our answer.
Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Order the following from greatest to least.
List the elements from greatest to least. The greater numbers are the decimals closest to 1.
Example Question #12 : How To Order Decimals From Least To Greatest Or From Greatest To Least
Order these numbers from greatest to least:
Ordering decimals from greatest to least means we list them from the biggest number to the smallest number. When doing this, line up each of your numbers by their decimal points. We look at the tenths place first and order them according to that number. Then move on to the hundredths place and so on until each of the numbers are lined up from greatest to smallest. For this problem that would look like this:
