Algebra.Com's Answer #432706 by Simnepi(216)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The easiest way is to add zero's so that the numbers all have the same decimal places, so we get \n" ); document.write( "6.305, 6.350,6.035 and 6.500. \n" ); document.write( "Now they all have the same number of decimal places, 4. \n" ); document.write( "Now forget about the decimal points so we get \n" ); document.write( "6305, 6350, 6035 and 6500. \n" ); document.write( "These whole numbers are much easier to compare! \n" ); document.write( "putting these in order we get, smallest to largest, \n" ); document.write( "6035, 6305, 6350 and 6500. \n" ); document.write( "Now put the decimal points back in and remove those zeros! \n" ); document.write( "6.035, 6.305, 6.35 and 6.5. \n" ); document.write( "The proper way.......If you can follow it! \n" ); document.write( "decimal numbers, that is numbers after the decimal point have values according to their position. \n" ); document.write( "The first number after the decimal point is worth a tenth of a whole one. \n" ); document.write( "so 3.8 has 3 whole ones and 8 tenths so could be written as 3 \n" ); document.write( "The second number after the decimal point are worth a hundredth of a whole one. \n" ); document.write( "so 15.07 is 15 \n" ); document.write( "if there are two digits after the decimal point we call them all hundredths \n" ); document.write( "so 8.59 is 8 \n" ); document.write( "To compare decimals we first compare tenths so 5.3 is bigger than 5.27 \n" ); document.write( "because 3 is larger than 2 \n" ); document.write( "if the tenths are the same we compare hundredths so 6.35 is bigger than 6.309 \n" ); document.write( "because 5 is bigger than 0. \n" ); document.write( " |
