Arrange the following decimal numbers in descending order:
(i) 6.45, 4.65, 6.405, 64.5
(ii) 73.5, 35.7, 7.35, 7.035
Answer
(i) The maximum number of decimal places in the given decimals is 3. So, we convert each of the given decimals into like decimals having three decimal places by annexing zeros.
The decimals are: 6.450, 4.650, 6.405, 64.500
Clearly, 64.500 > 6.450 > 6.405 > 4.650.
Hence, the given decimals in descending order are:
64.5 > 6.45 > 6.405 > 4.65
(ii) The maximum number of decimal places in the given decimals is 3. So, we convert each of the given decimals into like decimals having three decimal places by annexing zeros.
The decimals are: 73.500, 35.700, 7.350, 7.035
Clearly, 73.500 > 35.700 > 7.350 > 7.035.
Hence, the given decimals in descending order are:
73.5 > 35.7 > 7.35 > 7.035
