Question

order from least to greatest.
4.22 4.2 4.222
?
smallest number middle number largest number

Explanation:

Step1: Compare tenths place

All numbers (4.22, 4.2, 4.222) have 4 in the ones place and 2 in the tenths place, so move to the hundredths place.

Step2: Compare hundredths place

4.2 has 0 in the hundredths place, 4.22 has 2, and 4.222 has 2. So 4.2 is smaller than 4.22 and 4.222.

Step3: Compare thousandths place (for 4.22 and 4.222)

4.22 has 0 in the thousandths place, 4.222 has 2. So 4.22 < 4.222.

Answer:

Smallest number: 4.2, Middle number: 4.22, Largest number: 4.222
