Question

Arrange the decimals in descending order : $1.01,1.004,11.01$

Answer 1

Steps to arrange the decimals in descending order is :

• Convert the following decimals into like decimals as

$$\begin{gathered} 1.01=1.010 \\ 1.004=1.004 \\ 11.01=11.010 \end{gathered}$$

• compare the whole number part first in all the decimals , then compare the digit at tenths place and so on .
• Hence , $11.010\mathrm{is}\mathrm{greatest}\mathrm{among}\mathrm{all},\mathrm{while}1.010>1.004$

Therefore , the descending order of the given decimals is $11.010>1.010>1.004$
