You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The key to this is to rewrite each number with the same number
of digits to the right of the decimal point.
So 7, .8, 31, .33, 2 become
7.00 0.80 31.00 0.33 2.00
You can think of putting these in order from lowest to highest
0.33 0.80 2.00 7.00 31.00
So 0.33 is the smallest. Let me know if this helps
