Emek and Luna were hiking along a mountain trail when they noticed the sky growing darker. At a fork, a compass board showed three safe routes to shelters: north was 3.48 kilometers, east was 3.405 kilometers, and west was 3.54 kilometers. They wanted the shortest route. All three distances had 3 in the ones place, so Emek compared the tenths. North and east both had 4 tenths, while west had 5 tenths. Luna then compared the hundredths and saw that east was shorter than north. They chose the 3.405-kilometer eastern trail and reached the shelter with plenty of daylight left.

Hint
Compare digits from left to right. You can think of 3.48 as 3.480.
Which list shows the three shelter routes ordered from shortest to longest?
3.48, 3.405, 3.543.405, 3.48, 3.543.54, 3.48, 3.4053.405, 3.54, 3.48
Correct! The distances increase from 3.405 to 3.48 to 3.54.
Try again. Compare the ones, tenths, hundredths, and then thousandths as needed.

🎉 Congrats! You got this question!
Hint
The digit 4 is in the tenths place. Think about how many thousandths equal 4 tenths.
In the eastern trail distance 3.405 kilometers, what is the value of the digit 4 in thousandths?
Correct! Four tenths is equal to 400 thousandths.
Try again. One tenth equals 100 thousandths, so find the number of thousandths in 4 tenths.

Hint
Write the distances to the same number of decimal places: 3.405, 3.450, 3.480, and 3.540.
A fourth route to a shelter is 3.45 kilometers long. Where does it belong when all four routes are ordered from shortest to longest?
Before 3.405Between 3.48 and 3.54After 3.54Between 3.405 and 3.48
Correct! 3.45 is greater than 3.405 but less than 3.48.
Try again. Compare 3.450 with the three original distances digit by digit.
