Question

Arrange in ascending order: $0.23$, $0.3$ and $0.25$.

• A. $0.23$, $0.3$, $0.25$
• B. $0.23$, $0.25$, $0.3$
• C. $0.3$, $0.25$, $0.23$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B $0.23$, $0.25$, $0.3$

Aligning the decimal point,

0.23
0.3
0.25

We start comparing the digits from left end.

0.23
0.3
0.25
The unit place digit is same for all the three numbers. Hence, we move to one place right.

0.23
0.3
0.25
Comparing tenths place, we find that 3>2. Hence, 0.3 is the largest among the three.

As tenths place digit is same for 0.23 and 0.25, we compare the hundredths place.

0.23
0.25
We find that 5>3. Hence, 0.25 is larger than 0.23.

On arranging in ascending order:
0.23, 0.25, 0.3
