Question

put these numbers in order from greatest to least.
0.359 3.59 30.95 30.59 5.903
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Compare whole number parts

The whole number parts of the numbers: 0 (for 0.359), 3 (for 3.59), 30 (for 30.95 and 30.59), 5 (for 5.903). So numbers with whole number 30 are larger than those with 5, 3, or 0.

Step2: Compare 30.95 and 30.59

Since their whole number parts are equal (30), compare the tenths place: 9 (in 30.95) > 5 (in 30.59), so \( 30.95 > 30.59 \).

Step3: Compare remaining numbers (5.903, 3.59, 0.359)

Whole number parts: 5 > 3 > 0, so \( 5.903 > 3.59 > 0.359 \).

Step4: Combine all comparisons

Putting together the order from greatest to least: \( 30.95 > 30.59 > 5.903 > 3.59 > 0.359 \).

Answer:

30.95, 30.59, 5.903, 3.59, 0.359
