Question

Arrange the following in descending order:

$0.56,0.562,0.327,0.45,0.21$

Answer 1

Given decimal numbers: $0.56,0.562,0.327,0.45,0.21$

Compare tenths

So, $5>4>3>2$

Here, $0.56$ and $0.562$ have same tenths and same hundredths, so compare thousanths

So, $0.562>0.56$

We know descending order means from largest to smallest.

Hence descending order, $0.562>0.56>0.42>0.327>0.21$
