Question

Arrange the numbers in ascending order:

53.1	53.01	5.301
50.34	5.8	6.0
6.27	723.50	0.749
	5.036

• A. $0.749,5.036,5.301,5.8,6.0,6.27,50.34,53.01,53.1,723.50$
• B. $723.50,53.1,53.01,50.34,6.27,6.0,5.8,5.301,5.036,0.749$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.749,5.036,5.301,5.8,6.0,6.27,50.34,53.01,53.1,723.50$

Ascending order means we need to arrange the numbers from smallest to largest.

Let's compare the whole-number parts $\Rightarrow 0<5<6<50<53<723$

$\Rightarrow$ 0.749 is the smallest number.

Now, compare the numbers starting with 5.
Place Value Table

O	.	t	h	th
5	.	3	0	1
5	.	8	0	0
5	.	0	3	6

Comparing the digits in tenths column $\to 0<3<8$

$\therefore 5.036<5.301<5.8$

Similarly, compare the numbers starting with 6 $\Rightarrow 6.0<6.27$

Then compare the numbers starting with 53 $\Rightarrow 53.01<53.1$

Combining all the results we get $\Rightarrow 0.749<5.036<5.301<5.8<6.0<6.27<50.34<53.01<53.1<723.50$

$\therefore$ Ascending order is:
$0.749,5.036,5.301,5.8,6.0,6.27,50.34,53.01,53.1,723.50$
