    A. 0.005, 0.05, 0.105
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.003
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the least value between 0.0333 and 0.003. Comparing the two values, we can see that 0.003 is smaller than 0.0333. Therefore, 0.003 is the least value among the two options provided.

    Order each set of decimals from least to greatest. 5.003, 5, 5.03

    • 5, 5.003, 5.03

    • 5.003, 5.03, 5

    • 5.03, 5.003, 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 5, 5.003, 5.03
    Explanation
    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.
