Question

The weights of 3 sugar bags are 18.2 kg, 23.4 kg and 18.78 kg.
Arrange them in increasing order of their weights?

Answer 1

When we compare the decimals numbers then we move from left side towards the right side.

In 18.2, it has 1 tens, 8 ones and 2 tenths.
In 23.4, it has 2 tens, 3 ones and 4 tenths.
In 18.78, it has 1 tens, 8 ones, 7 tenths and 8 hundredths.

So, 18.2 is the smallest number and 23.4 is the largest number.

Thus, 18.2 kg < 18.78 kg < 23.4 kg.
