Question

Write the following decimal in descending order
$0.2,$ $0.002,$ $2.2,$ $2.02,$ $0.22,$ $0.02$

Answer 1

Hint: To get to grips with this problem first we will understand the descending order concept further we will find the largest and smallest number in decimal and we will organize it according to it.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given decimal $0.2,$ $0.002,$ $2.2,$ $2.02,$ $0.22,$ $0.02$

Ascending order is a way to group numbers from the smallest to the largest. We may also claim to arrange the numbers in increasing order. For example, a set of natural numbers, such as $$1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8$$... and so on, are in ascending order. The opposite of rising order is decreasing order, or falling order is also called order.

Trailing zeros at the end of a decimal doesn't increase or decrease a given decimal value. Nonetheless, zeros which appear after the decimal point and precede a non-zero number decrease the number value.

For those who have more zeros after the decimal number called the smallest number and those who have more numbers before the decimal number called the largest number.

The largest number of the number given is $2.2$
And the smallest number among the number given is $0.002$.

Descending order will be given as largest to smallest number.

Hence the required descending order is $2.2,$ $2.02,$ $0.22,$ $0.2,$ $0.02,$ $0.002$.

Note- We will get descending order when we arrange numbers from higher to lower number.The opposite of descending order is called ascending order, where the numbers are ordered from lower to higher.
