Question

arrange these numbers from lowest to highest: 2.3, .23, .023, 23, 230

Explanation:

Step1: Compare decimal values

First, analyze each number: \(0.023\) (thousandths place), \(0.23\) (hundredths place, equivalent to \(0.230\)), \(2.3\) (one and tenths), \(23\) (whole number), \(230\) (three-digit whole number).

Step2: Order from lowest to highest

Start with the smallest: \(0.023\), then \(0.23\) (since \(0.023 < 0.23\)), then \(2.3\) ( \(0.23 < 2.3\) ), then \(23\) ( \(2.3 < 23\) ), then \(230\) ( \(23 < 230\) ). So the order is \(0.023, 0.23, 2.3, 23, 230\).

Step3: Match with options

Check the options. The third option (middle - third tile) has this order: \(.023,.23, 2.3, 23, 230\).

Answer:

The third option (the third turquoise tile from the left) with the numbers \(.023,.23, 2.3, 23, 230\)
