We must compare and order these decimals to help us solve this problem. Specifically, we need to determine if the third decimal is between the first two.

Let's start by writing one decimal beneath the other in their original order. We will place an arrow next to 1.4691 so that we can track its value.

1.465

1.472

1.4691 <-

Now let's order these decimals from least to greatest.

1.465 -> 1

1.4691 -> 2 <-

1.472 -> 3

Now we must determine if the third decimal (indicated by the arrow) is between the first two.

A tire that is 1.4691 cm in diameter will work since 1.4691 is between 1.465 and 1.472
