Question

Arrange these distances from the shortest to the longest: 4.05 km, 4 km 25 m, $4\frac{2}{5}$ km.
Answer: 2

Worked solution

  1. $4\text{ km }25\text{ m} = 4.025\text{ km}$ and $4\frac{2}{5}\text{ km} = 4.4\text{ km}$. Ordering: $4.025 < 4.05 < 4.4$, so $4\text{ km }25\text{ m},\ 4.05\text{ km},\ 4\frac{2}{5}\text{ km}$.
