Answer:

5. 59 meters, 5.6 meters, 5.62 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances jumped are 5.6 meters, 5.62 meters, and 5.59 meters.

Each of these numbers have 5 before decimal point, so in order to compare these numbers, take a look at the first digit after decimal point: 6, 6 and 5. Since 5 is less than 6, number 5.59 is the smallest one. Take a look at the second digit after point in first two numbers. They are 0 and 2. Since 0 is less than 2, then number 5.6 is smaller than 5.62,

so the correct order is

5. 59 meters, 5.6 meters, 5.62 meters.
