Order 352, 325, 532

Step by step

The question

Question: put 352, 325, 532 in order, from least to greatest.

1 Line up the places

We line up the ones under the ones, the tens under the tens, and so on.

2 Compare from the left

Look at the hundreds: 5 is more than 3.

So 532 is greater than 352.

352 and 325 are the same in the first place.

Look at the tens: 5 is more than 2.

So 352 is greater than 325.

3 Write them in order

From least to greatest: 325 < 352 < 532.

4 Check

On a number line, smaller numbers are to the left.

Left to right: 325, 352, 532.

The same order.

Yes!

It works.

Let's look back.

First: line up the places.

Then: compare from the left.

Then: write them in order.

Last: check.
