Let’s go through each part step by step. We’re ordering decimals from
largest to smallest.
We’ll compare the numbers digit by digit, starting with the whole number part (left of the decimal), then the tenths place, then hundredths if needed.

A) Numbers: 2.75, 3.08, 1.47, 5.2
- Whole numbers: 5 > 3 > 2 > 1 → so 5.2 is largest, then 3.08, then 2.75, then 1.47
✔ Ordered:
5.2, 3.08, 2.75, 1.47
---
B) Numbers: 3.62, 8.75, 6.7, 4.96
- Whole numbers: 8 > 6 > 4 > 3 → 8.75, then 6.7, then 4.96, then 3.62
✔ Ordered:
8.75, 6.7, 4.96, 3.62
---
C) Numbers: 7.26, 5.53, 6.8, 5.9, 6.25
- Whole numbers: 7 > 6 > 5
→ 7.26 is first.
Now between 6.8 and 6.25 → both have 6, look at tenths: 8 > 2 → so 6.8 > 6.25
Then 5.9 and 5.53 → both have 5, tenths: 9 > 5 → so 5.9 > 5.53
✔ Ordered:
7.26, 6.8, 6.25, 5.9, 5.53
---
D) Numbers: 0.7, 0.54, 1.3, 0.27, 1.65
- Whole numbers: 1 > 0 → so 1.65 and 1.3 come first
Compare 1.65 and 1.3 → 6 > 3 → 1.65 > 1.3
Now the rest: 0.7, 0.54, 0.27 → all start with 0, compare tenths: 7 > 5 > 2 → so 0.7 > 0.54 > 0.27
✔ Ordered:
1.65, 1.3, 0.7, 0.54, 0.27
---
E) Numbers: 7.9, 6.83, 8.1, 6.5, 7.46
- Whole numbers: 8 > 7 > 6
→ 8.1 is first
Then 7.9 and 7.46 → both 7, tenths: 9 > 4 → 7.9 > 7.46
Then 6.83 and 6.5 → both 6, tenths: 8 > 5 → 6.83 > 6.5
✔ Ordered:
8.1, 7.9, 7.46, 6.83, 6.5
---
F) Numbers: 2.17, 3.71, 1.05, 0.87, 2.6, 3.5
- Whole numbers: 3 > 2 > 1 > 0
→ Start with 3s: 3.71 and 3.5 → 7 > 5 → 3.71 > 3.5
Then 2s: 2.6 and 2.17 → 6 > 1 → 2.6 > 2.17
Then 1.05, then 0.87
✔ Ordered:
3.71, 3.5, 2.6, 2.17, 1.05, 0.87
---
G) Numbers: 0.64, 0.17, 0.08, 0.9, 0.36, 0.4
All start with 0 → compare tenths:
- 0.9 → 9 tenths → biggest
- Then 0.64 → 6 tenths
- Then 0.4 → 4 tenths
- Then 0.36 → 3 tenths
- Then 0.17 → 1 tenth
- Then 0.08 → 0 tenths → smallest
✔ Ordered:
0.9, 0.64, 0.4, 0.36, 0.17, 0.08
