Understanding Descending Order
What is Descending Order?
When you order numbers from greatest to least, they are in descending order. This means their values decrease from left to right, with the highest value at the beginning and the lowest at the end.
Decimal Number Sorting
For decimals, compare digits one by one from left to right. For example, with 17.261, 17.232, and 17.265: The first three digits are identical (17.2), so compare the fourth digit (6 > 3 > 1), giving us 17.265, 17.261, 17.232 in descending order.
Fraction Sorting Process
- Convert fractions to decimal form
- Compare the decimal values
- Arrange from highest to lowest
- Present in original fraction format
Example: 1/4, 4/7, 2/5
• 1/4 = 0.25
• 4/7 ≈ 0.571
• 2/5 = 0.4
Result: 4/7, 2/5, 1/4
