Answer 1

Arrange in descending:

Steps to arrange the decimals in descending order :

• Convert the following into like decimals first as

$$\begin{gathered} 4.21=4.210 \\ 0.022=0.022 \\ 1.401=1.401 \end{gathered}$$

• Compare the whole number part first, then compare the digit at tenths place and continue the process .
• Hence the comparison in between the decimals is $4.210>1.401>0.022$

Thus, the decimals arranged in the decreasing order is $4.210>1.401>0.022$
