Ascending order questions are provided here along with solutions for students to practice them and clear their pertaining doubts. There are two ways to order numbers – ascending order and descending order. Ascending order or increasing order means arranging numbers from smallest to biggest. In contrast, descending order or decreasing order means arranging numbers from biggest to smallest.
Often we have seen in a school assembly line, students make queues according to their increasing height. Similarly, while stacking books we generally stack them in decreasing order.

Ascending Order Questions with Solutions
Ordering various quantities is a skill which develops in kids studying in grades 1, 2 and 3. To enhance this skill they must be encouraged to practice the ascending order questions provided below. The questions presented here range from easy to higher-order level thinking questions which will help kids in their examinations.
Question 1: Arrange the following in ascending order:
(i) 102, 378, 367, 128, 186, 289.

While comparing numbers always start comparing numbers of the highest place value, if they are equal then compare the next highest place value digit and so on. For example, we have to compare 5584 and 5548
Therefore, 5584 > 5548. |
Question 2: Arrange the following in ascending order:
(i) 2209, 2227, 2295, 2245, 2221.

Solution:
Note: You can form any number you want, here is an example.
The four numbers could be 82135, 12358, 13582, and 53128.
Arranging the numbers in ascending order:
12358 < 13582 < 53128 < 82135.
Question 5: Form five numbers with the following digits then arrange them in ascending order.

Solution:
The four numbers are 14076, 10476, 16047, 17064
Arranging the numbers in ascending order:
10476 < 14076 < 16047 < 17064.
Question 6: Arrange the following in ascending order:
(i) 27 + 35, 29 + 34, 25 + 31, 21 + 34, 29 + 39
(ii) 78 – 54, 64 – 23, 46 – 19, 23 – 16, 93 – 68
Solution:
(i) Solving the numbers we get,
62, 63, 56, 55, 68
Arranging the numbers in ascending order:
55 < 56 < 62 < 63 < 68.
(ii) Solving the numbers we get,
24, 41, 27, 7, 25
Arranging the numbers in ascending order:
7 < 24 < 25 < 27 < 41.
Question 7: Arrange the following numbers in ascending order:
(i) 28.34, 28.94, 27.912, 29.547, 27.836.
(ii) 356.78, 287.34, 398.60, 396.012.
Solution:

Question 8: Arrange the following in ascending order:
(i) 22/3, 17/3, 23/3, 29/3, 16/3, 19/3.
(ii) 87/19, 73/19, 67/19, 57/19, 13/19.
Solution:
(i) 16/3 < 17/3 < 19/3 < 22/3 < 23/3 < 29/3.
(ii) 13/19 < 57/19 < 67/19 < 73/19 < 87/19.
Question 9: Arrange the following in ascending numbers:
(i) 5/6, ⅔, ½, ¾, 8/5.
(ii) 6/7, 6/17, 6/18, 6/19.
Solution:
(i) Converting all the fractions in like-fractions,
LCM of (6, 3, 2, 4, 5) = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60
∴ 5/6 = 50/60, 2/3 = 40/60, 1/2 = 30/60, 3/4 = 45/60, 8/5 = 96/60
Now arranging in ascending order,
30/60 < 40/60 < 45/60 < 50/60 < 96/60
Or, ½ < ⅔ < ¾ < ⅚ < 8/5.
(ii) Since the numerators are the same for each fraction, therefore the fraction with highest denominator is the smallest. Thus,
6/19 < 6/18 < 6/17 < 6/7
Question 10: Aman is making a roadmap for his treasure hunt game, he observed that his school is 6 km away from his home, grocery store is 1.5 km away from his home, park is 3 km away from his home, mall is 16.65 km away from his home and the railway station is 8 km away from his home. Arrange all these places by nearest to farthest distance from his home.
Solution:
Arranging all the places in ascending order of their distance from Aman’s home,
grocery store (1.5 km) < park (3 km) < school (6 km) < railway station (8 km) < Mall (16.65 km).
