Question

Arrange the following in ascending order:

$4242.42,424.424,4242.24,42.424$

Answer 1

Given decimal numbers: $4242.42,424.424,4242.24,42.424$

Compare whole numbers

So, $4242>424>42$

Here, $4242.42$ and $4242.24$ have same whole number part, so compare tenths

So, $4>2$ i.e., $4242.42>4242.24$

We know ascending order means from smallest to largest.

Hence ascending order, $42.425>424.424>4242.24>4242.42$
