Question

order these numbers from smallest to largest: 1.5, 0.15, 0.015, 15, 150; options: 1.5, 0.015, 0.15, 15, 150; 0.015, 0.15, 1.5, 15, 150; 0.15, 0.015, 1.5, 15, 150; 0.015, 1.5, 0.15, 15, 150

Explanation:

Step1: Compare decimal parts

First, analyze the numbers: \(0.015\) (thousandths place), \(0.15 = 0.150\) (hundredths place), \(1.5 = 1.500\) (ones and tenths), \(15\) (tens), \(150\) (hundreds).

Step2: Order from smallest

Start with the smallest: \(0.015\) (smallest), then \(0.15\) (next, as \(0.015 < 0.15\)), then \(1.5\) (since \(0.15 < 1.5\)), then \(15\) ( \(1.5 < 15\) ), then \(150\) (largest). So the order is \(0.015, 0.15, 1.5, 15, 150\).

Answer:

B. 0.015, 0.15, 1.5, 15, 150 (assuming the second option is labeled B as per the four - option layout with the correct order)
