Order these numbers from least to greatest.
3.027, 3.2742, 3.27, 3.3

3.027, 3.27, 3.2742, 3.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! When we have these types of problems we always look at the first number. Is it less than the others? Since they are all 3, we have to look at the decimal place. 0 is less than 2 and 3, so we put 3.027 first. Since the others have 3.27 as the first point, we look at the one with the most decimal placements after 3.27 (3.2742) as being greater than 3.27. 3.27 goes before 3.2742. 3.3 is greater than all of them, so it goes last.

3.027, 3.27, 3.2742, 3.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First list the numbers:

3.027

3.2742

3.27

3.3

Add the zero to the numbers without 4 decimal places so that they are equal.

Now you have:

3.0270

3.2742

3.2700

3.3000

Look at the number with the lowest number on the first decimal place, which is 3.0270. This becomes the lowest number. Then move on to the next decimal place. 3.2700 and 3.2742 both have the same digits on the first two decimal places. Look at the third decimal place between the two and you can see that 0 (on 3.2700) is lower than 4 (on 3.2742).

So now we have:

3.0270, 3.2700.

Then looking at the last two you have 3.2742 and 3.3000. In this case it's clear that 3.2742 is smaller so we put it as the third.

The order is as follows:

3.0270 (3.027)

3.2700 (3.27)

3.2742 (3.2742)

3.3000 (3.3)
