Question

Arrange the decimals 0.001, 0.002, and 0.003 in ascending order.

• A. 0.001 < 0.002 < 0.003
• B. 0.003 < 0.002 < 0.001
• C. 0.002 < 0.001 < 0.003
• D. 0.001 < 0.003 < 0.002

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.001 < 0.002 < 0.003

Write the numbers in place value table and starting from left compare the digits in each place value until the first pair of digits become different.

From the place value table, digits are different in the thousandths place.

As we know, $1<2<3$.

So, $0.001<0.002<0.003$.

∴ Ascending order of digits:
$0.001<0.002<0.003$
