Question

Arrange the decimals in ascending order : $30.3,0.3,0.03$

Answer 1

Arranging the decimals in ascending order

• Convert the decimals into like decimals

$30.3as30.30,0.3as0.30,0.03$.

• Compare the whole number part in each

As in $0.3,0.03$ , they have the same whole number part as 0 , while in $30.3$,the whole number part is $30$ .

• Hence , $30.3$is greater than $0.3,0.03$ .
• Now compare the tenths places in $0.3,0.03$ .

As $3>0\mathrm{then}0.3>0.03$ .

Therefore , the ascending order of the decimals is $0.03<0.3<30.3$.
