A. 0.005, 0.05, 0.105Explanation
The decimals in the given set are 0.05, 0.105, and 0.005. To order them from least to greatest, we start with the smallest decimal, which is 0.005. Next, we have 0.05, which is greater than 0.005 but smaller than 0.105. Finally, we have 0.105, which is the largest decimal in the set. Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is 0.005, 0.05, 0.105.Rate this question:

-
5, 5.003, 5.03
-
5.003, 5.03, 5
-
5.03, 5.003, 5
Correct Answer
A. 5, 5.003, 5.03Explanation
The given decimals are 5, 5.003, and 5.03. When ordering decimals from least to greatest, we start by comparing the whole numbers. In this case, all the decimals have the same whole number part, which is 5. Therefore, we move on to the decimal part. The decimal 5.003 is the smallest because it has the least number of decimal places. Next is 5.03, which has a larger decimal part. Finally, the decimal 5 has no decimal part, so it is the largest. Therefore, the correct order is 5, 5.003, 5.03.Rate this question:
