We are going from greatest to least; that is called descending order of the numbers.

Answer 4

6.
6. 7 2
6. 2 7
6. 0 7 2

All four options have 6 in the ones place, so go to the tenths digit.
7 is the largest tenths digit. The 7 is also attached to the 6 in the ones place.
So, 6.72 is the largest number of the four.

Next, look again at the tenths digits.

6.
6. 2 7
6. 0 7 2
2 is the largest; it is attached to 6 so 6.2 is the second largest number.

So far, 6.72; 6.27 are the two largest of the four.

Continue in the same way and place the remaining two numbers in the proper order.

6.
6. 0 7 2
