 ORDERING DECIMALS
IT IS EASIER TO PUT DECIMALS IN ORDER IF WE HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF
DIGITS AFTER THE DECIMAL POINT.

EXAMPLE 1: PUT THESE DECIMALS IN ORDER OF SIZE FROM HIGHEST TO

LOWEST.
0.12 0.302 0.5 0.06
Look at the decimals to find
Step 1 which one has the most number 0.12 0.302 0.5 0.06
of digits after the decimal point.

Add zeros to the other decimals

Step 2 so that they all have this number
0.120 0.302 0.500 0.060
of digits after the decimal point.

Step 3 Put the numbers in order of size.

0.500 0.302 0.120 0.060
