Question

order these numbers from least to greatest. 6.9, 6.97, 8.711, 6.9072

Explanation:

Step1: Compare whole number parts

All numbers have 6 as the whole number except 8.711 (whole number 8), so 8.711 is the largest.

Step2: Compare tenths/hundredths of 6-values

Rewrite 6.9 as 6.9000. Compare decimals:
$6.9000 < 6.9072 < 6.9700$

Step3: Combine the order

Place the largest number last.

Answer:

$6.9 < 6.9072 < 6.97 < 8.711$
