Arrange these numbers in descending order: 16.96; 16.42; 16.3; 16.03;

1.	Arrange these numbers in descending order: 16.96; 16.42; 16.3; 16.03; 16.1; 16.99; 16.01
Answer» Given decimal fractions are 16.96; 16.42; 16.3; 16.03; 16.1; 16.99; 16.01 First make or check the given fractions are all like fractions or not? So, 16.96; 16.42; 16.30; 16.03; 16.10; 16.99; 16.01 are like fractions. Then, compare whole numbers. They are same. So, compare Tenth’s place digits of the decimal fractions. 16.96 < 16.99; 16.42 > 16.30 > 16.10 > 16.03 > 16.01 Then compare hundredth’s place digits. So, 16.99 > 16.96 > 16.42 > 16.30 > 16.10 > 16.03 > 16.01 (or) 16.01 < 16.03 < 16.10 < 16.30 < 16.42 < 16.96 < 16.99 Descending order: 16.99; 16.96; 16.42; 16.30; 16.10; 16.03; 16.01.

Arrange these numbers in descending order: 16.96; 16.42; 16.3; 16.03; 16.1; 16.99; 16.01

Answer»

Given decimal fractions are 16.96; 16.42; 16.3; 16.03; 16.1; 16.99; 16.01

First make or check the given fractions are all like fractions or not?

So, 16.96; 16.42; 16.30; 16.03; 16.10; 16.99; 16.01 are like fractions.

Then, compare whole numbers. They are same.

So, compare Tenth’s place digits of the decimal fractions.

16.96 < 16.99; 16.42 > 16.30 > 16.10 > 16.03 > 16.01

Then compare hundredth’s place digits.

So, 16.99 > 16.96 > 16.42 > 16.30 > 16.10 > 16.03 > 16.01

(or)

16.01 < 16.03 < 16.10 < 16.30 < 16.42 < 16.96 < 16.99

Descending order: 16.99; 16.96; 16.42; 16.30; 16.10; 16.03; 16.01.
