Question

order the numbers from least to greatest.
5.06 4.60 5.60 4.06
least → greatest
? ? ?

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the whole numbers

The whole numbers of the given decimals: \(5.06\) (5), \(4.60\) (4), \(5.60\) (5), \(4.06\) (4). So numbers with whole number 4 are smaller than those with 5.

Step2: Compare decimals with whole number 4

For \(4.60\) and \(4.06\), compare the tenths place: \(0 < 6\), so \(4.06 < 4.60\).

Step3: Compare decimals with whole number 5

For \(5.06\) and \(5.60\), compare the tenths place: \(0 < 6\), so \(5.06 < 5.60\).

Step4: Order from least to greatest

Combining the results: \(4.06 < 4.60 < 5.06 < 5.60\).

Answer:

\(4.06\), \(4.60\), \(5.06\), \(5.60\)
