• B. $1.5$
• C. $0.082$
• D. $0.103$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$0.082$

Explanation for correct option:

Option $C$: $0.082$

To identify which number is the smallest, we have to compare their place values.

The tenths place number in $0.27$ is $2$, in $1.5$ is $5$, in $0.082$ is $0$ and in $0.103$ is $1$.

So, $0$ is the smallest.

Hence, $0.082$ is the smallest decimal number.

Therefore, the correct option is option $C$.
