Answer 1

Answer:

8.981, 8.782, 7.982, 7.981.

Step-by-step explanation:

To order decimals is to subtract, line up, and comparing digits.

Comparing digits is a good way to order decimals for greatest to least.

(Most Understood.)

Comparing Decimals:

We could put numbers in any order to compare digits, but you should look closely:

• Numbers can Trick You.
• Be wise, look closely.
• If the digit is 0 for a number, the other number is greater if it's not 0.

• Lastly, you (cannot) multiply, divide, add, or subtract.

__________________________________________
