Worked Solution

Step 1: Compare all distances by place value. Punggol: 3 008 m — hundreds = 0 (smallest) Tampines: 3 080 m — hundreds = 0, tens = 8 Bedok: 3 500 m — hundreds = 5 Jurong: 3 800 m — hundreds = 8 (largest) Step 2: Order: 3 008 < 3 080 < 3 500 < 3 800 Answer: Punggol, Tampines, Bedok, Jurong.

Correct answer: Punggol, Tampines, Bedok, Jurong
