Just add zeroes after the numbers until they all have the same length... then line them up at the decimal points. Then it should be straightforward to order them:
0.6000
0.6154
0.6207

.6207>.6154>.6
just think of them as whole numbers and fill in all blanks with zeros.. so it'd really be .6207>.6154>.6000
just make sure they are all the same amount of numbers behind the decimal point.
And you should be set.
don't worry.. you'll get it soon enough

If you want to know how to do it you have to make them all have the same amount of numbers!
.6 is the same as .6000 or any amount of zeros so
the answer is
.6000
.6154
.6207
if the first number is the same then move onto the next number and see which is the least! for example, the 0 is less than 1 and the 1 is lkess than 2

.6 Least
.6154
.6207 Greatest
just act like the decimals arent there, which number is bigger... or closer to 1.

basically, just look at it like a regular #, so you'd have 6,207; 6,154; and 60. from this you can tell from least to greatest, it's: 60; 6,154; then 6,207 then with the decimals it's the same order just as decimals.
