5.85 ___ 5.58

4. Order the decimal numbers 1.023, 1.101 and 0.985 from least to greatest.

5. Order the decimal numbers 0.098, 0.123 and 0.985 from least to greatest.

1. Answer :

1.031 and 0.256

To compare the given decimal numbers, we have to write them in a table as given below.

In the above table, compare the numbers in the first column (units).

We have 1 in 1.0231 and 0 in 0.256.

Since 1 is greater than 0, we have

1.031 is greater than 0.256

2. Answer :

0.231 and 0.228

To compare the given decimal numbers, we have to write them in a table as given below.

In the above table, compare the numbers in the first column (units).

In the first column, we have have 0 in both the decimal numbers 0.231 and 0.228.

So, we have to compare the numbers in the third column (Tenths).

In the third column (Tenths), we have the same number 2 in both the decimal numbers.

So, we have to compare the numbers in fourth column (Hundredths).

In the fourth column (Hundredths), we have 3 in 0.231 and 2 in 0.228.

Since 3 is greater than 2, we have

0.231 is greater than 0.228

3. Answer :

3.54 ___ 35.4

0.1 ___ 0.01

-2.01 ___ -0.201

0.002 ___ 0.002

5.85 ___ 5.58

4. Answer :

1.023, 1.101, 0.985

To order the given decimal numbers, first we have to write them in a table as given below.

To get the least one , compare the numbers in the first column (units).

We get 0 in 0.985. This is the least among the given three decimal numbers.

To get the next least number, let us compare 1.023 and 1.101.

In both the decimals, we find 1 in the first column (units).

Now, we have to compare the third column (Tenths). There we get 0 in 1.023 and 1 in 1.101.

Since 0 is less than 1, the next least decimal is 1.023.

Therefore, the order of the given decimals from least to greatest is

0.985, 1.023, 1.101

5. Answer :

0.098, 0.123, 0.985

To order the given decimal numbers, first we have to write them in a table as given below.

To get the least one , compare the numbers in the first column (Units).

We get 0 in all the three decimal numbers in the first column.

So, let us move to the third column (Tenths) and compare the numbers.

In third column, we get 0 in 0.098.

Therefore, 0.098 is the least among the given decimal numbers.

In the same third column, we get 1 in 0.123.

This is the next least decimal number.

Therefore, the order of the given decimals from least to greatest is

0.098, 0.123, 0.985

Note :

In the third column also, if you get the same number in all the three decimal numbers, compare the numbers in the fourth column (Hundredths column) and so on.
