Question

Which is the smallest 2.07 ,2.7, 2.4, 2.04

Answer 1

Here are the numbers: 2.07, 2.7, 2.4, 2.04

So you look at the first digit and move along to see which is the smallest

All the whole numbers are 2 so you can't tell from there

Now move on to the next digit which is after the decimal

As you can see, there is a .07, .7, .4, and a .04

So .7 is obviously the largest, followed by .4 so that leaves .04 and .07 which you can't tell by the "0"

So look at them. 4 in .04 is smaller than 7 in .07, right?

So that means that 2.04 is the smallest followed by 2.07 then 2.4 and then 2.7 being the largest

So from smallest to greatest:

2.04, 2.07, 2.4, 2.7

Answer: 2.04 is the smallest
