Question

Arrange in descending order:
$0.02,0.04,0.42,0.24$

Answer 1

Step 1: Comparing Numbers
Now, we compare $0.02,0.04,0.42,0.24$
Now, comparing their whole number part, it is the same , moving to the tenths part we know that ,
$\frac{4}{10}>\frac{2}{10}>\frac{0}{10}$,
Thus,$0.42$ is the largest
$0.42>0.24$
Now, Comparing the hundredths digit, we know that:
$\frac{2}{100}<\frac{4}{100}$
$0.04>0.02$
Now, Comparing $0.24$ and $0.04$
Looking at the tenths place, we know that
$\frac{2}{10}>\frac{0}{10}$
Thus,$0.24>0.04$
Step 2: Arranging in descending order (Largest to smallest)
$0.42>0.24>0.04>0.02$
