How do you know which decimal is higher?

The decimal number with the greater digit in the tenth place is greater. For example, 9.85 is greater than 9.65. If the digits in the tenth place are equal, compare the digits in the hundredth place. The decimal number with the greater digit in the hundredth place is greater.

What is the lowest decimal number?

To arrange the decimal numbers in ascending order, first, check the whole number part of all the decimal numbers. We see that 4 is the smallest whole number part so, 4.926 is the smallest decimal number. The rest of the decimal numbers have the same whole number part i.e. 18.
