Understanding Decimal Sorting (Ascending Order)
How to Sort Decimals
To sort decimals from least to greatest (ascending order), compare the digits in each place value from left to right, starting with the units place.
Step-by-Step Process
- Arrange numbers by their units digit (before decimal)
- If units are equal, compare tenths place (first after decimal)
- If tenths are equal, compare hundredths place
- Continue until all numbers are ordered
Example Comparison
Compare: 3.2, 3.9, 2.4
• 2.4 has smallest units digit (2)
• 3.2 vs 3.9: same units (3), compare tenths
• 3.2 has 2 in tenths, 3.9 has 9 in tenths
• Since 2 < 9, we get: 3.2 < 3.9
Result: 2.4, 3.2, 3.9
Benefits of Sorting
- • Easier data analysis and pattern recognition
- • Faster identification of min/max values
- • Better data visualization and presentation
- • Simplified statistical calculations
