Question

Arrange in ascending order of the following :- 2.5 ,3.56, 1.72, 2.85​

Answer 1

To arrange the numbers in ascending order, start by comparing the integer parts, then the decimal parts if needed. The numbers in ascending order are 1.72, 2.5, 2.85, 3.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the given numbers 2.5, 3.56, 1.72, 2.85 in ascending order (from smallest to largest), we compare each number starting from the leftmost digit (the integer part) and move towards the right to the decimal part if necessary.

1. First, we identify the smallest integer part, which is 1 in 1.72.
2. Next, between 2.5 and 2.85, we look at the decimal part and see that .5 is smaller than .85, placing 2.5 next.
3. Then we place 2.85 since it has the next larger decimal part after 2.5 within the 2's.
4. Finally, 3.56 has the integer part 3, which is larger than any of the other integer parts in the set, so it goes last.

The numbers arranged in ascending order are: 1.72, 2.5, 2.85, 3.56.
