Question

Arrange the decimals in descending order : $9.01,9.09,9.001,9.10,9.9$

Answer 1

Steps to arrange the decimals in descending order is :

• Convert the following into like decimals first as

$$\begin{gathered} 9.01=9.010 \\ 9.09=9.090 \\ 9.001=9.001 \\ 9.10=9.100 \\ 9.9=9.900 \end{gathered}$$

• Compare the whole number part first in all the decimals , then compare the digit at tenths place and continue the process.
• So , in the given decimals all have the same whole number part .

Thus , the descending order of the given decimals is $9.9>9.10>9.09>9.01>9.001$
