Answer by Edwin McCravy(20065) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A. 0.105
B.0.501
C.0.015
D.0.15


Line up the decimals:

A. 0.105
B. 0.501
C. 0.015
D. 0.15

Put a 0 at the end of the last one, so
they'll all have three digits after the
decimal:

A. 0.105
B. 0.501
C. 0.015
D. 0.150

Now they are all 'thousandths'.

A.  105 thousandths
B.  501 thousandths
C.   15 thousandths
D.  150 thousandths

I won't tell you the answer, but I'll bet you can 
pick out which is the least one now!
