There are two decimals that have the digit 5 in the units place, so look at the
tenths place. Compare the digits in the tenths place:
5 tenths < 6 tenths.
5.52 is smaller than 5.68.
5.52 < 5.68

Now let us look at the decimals that have 6 in the units place.
They have the same value in the tenths column, so look at the hundredths place.
Compare the digit in the hundredths place:
5 hundredths < 6 hundredths.
6.45 < 6.48.
So, the decimals arranged in an ascending order are:

5.52 5.6 6.45 6.48
ascending
