Question

Arrange the decimals in descending order : $1.022,54.2,32.01$

Answer 1

Steps to arrange the decimals in descending order :

• Convert the decimals into like decimals first as

$$\begin{gathered} 1.022=1.022 \\ 54.2=54.200 \\ 32.01=32.010 \end{gathered}$$

• Compare the whole number part first then compare the digit at tenths and then hundredths and so on .
• Since $1.022<32.010as1<32and32.010<54.200as32<54.$

Thus , the descending order of the decimals is $54.200>32.010>1.022$ .
