"Racing To Be First" worksheet: Order numbers from greatest to least.

Problem Description:

The task is to order the numbers on the cars from GREATEST to LEAST for each row of racers. The worksheet is divided into four rows, and each row contains four cars with numbers on them. The goal is to determine the ranking (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) based on the size of the numbers.

Solution Approach:

1. Identify the Numbers: For each row, note the numbers on the cars.
2. Order the Numbers: Arrange the numbers in descending order (from greatest to least).
3. Assign Rankings: Based on the ordered list, assign the rankings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) to the corresponding cars.

- 4th: 98

#### Row 2:
Numbers on the cars:
- Car 1: 28
- Car 2: 508
- Car 3: 644
- Car 4: 602

#### Row 3:
Numbers on the cars:
- Car 1: 794
- Car 2: 362
- Car 3: 433

- 2nd: 649
- 3rd: 362
- 4th: 289

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{cccc}
\text{Row 1:} & 1^\text{st}: 904 & 2^\text{nd}: 668 & 3^\text{rd}: 584 & 4^\text{th}: 98 \\
\text{Row 2:} & 1^\text{st}: 644 & 2^\text{nd}: 602 & 3^\text{rd}: 508 & 4^\text{th}: 28 \\
\text{Row 3:} & 1^\text{st}: 794 & 2^\text{nd}: 489 & 3^\text{rd}: 433 & 4^\text{th}: 362 \\
\text{Row 4:} & 1^\text{st}: 177 & 2^\text{nd}: 75 & 3^\text{rd}: 72 & 4^\text{th}: 41 \\
\text{Row 5:} & 1^\text{st}: 983 & 2^\text{nd}: 649 & 3^\text{rd}: 362 & 4^\text{th}: 289 \\
