DecimalOnesTenthsHundredths4.464464.454454.074074.864864.49449

Since the decimals have the same whole number part, we compare the digits in the tenths place.

Greater the number of tenths, greater is the number.
4.86 is the greatest and 4.07 is the smallest decimal from the lot.

Also, 4.86>4.45,4.46,4.49>4.07.

Since 4.46, 4.45 and 4.49 all have 4 tenths, we compare the digits at the hundredths place.

Greater the number of hundredths, greater is the number.

4.49>4.46>4.45

Therefore, arranging the decimals in descending order, we have:

4.86, 4.49, 4.46, 4.45, 4.07.
