Question

14.8, 14.08 and 14.801

smallest number: [?]

Answer 1

To order the numbers 14.8, 14.08, and 14.801 from least to greatest, let's first rewrite them with the same number of decimal places:

• 14.8 can be expressed as 14.800
• 14.08 can be expressed as 14.080
• 14.801 remains as it is.

Now, comparing them:

• 14.080 (which is 14.08)
• 14.800 (which is 14.8)
• 14.801

Ordering these, we get:

1. 14.080 (smallest)
2. 14.800
3. 14.801 (largest)

So, the answer is:

smallest number: 14.08
