Ordering Decimals worksheet for arranging decimal numbers in ascending and descending order.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have two parts:
Part 1: Arrange decimals in ascending order (smallest to largest).
Part 2: Arrange decimals in descending order (largest to smallest).

Part 1: Ascending Order

#### Row 1: 5.7, 2.78, 0.26, 1.8, 9.23
Look at the whole number part first:
- 0.26 → starts with 0 → smallest
- 1.8 → starts with 1
- 2.78 → starts with 2
- 5.7 → starts with 5
- 9.23 → starts with 9 → largest

So order: 0.26, 1.8, 2.78, 5.7, 9.23

#### Row 2: 2.09, 0.1, 3.45, 2.89, 3.5
Whole numbers:
- 0.1 → 0 → smallest
- 2.09 and 2.89 → both start with 2 → compare tenths: 0 vs 8 → so 2.09 < 2.89
- 3.45 and 3.5 → both start with 3 → 3.45 has 4 tenths, 3.5 is same as 3.50 → 5 tenths → so 3.45 < 3.5

Order: 0.1, 2.09, 2.89, 3.45, 3.5

#### Row 3: 7.15, 0.76, 0.01, 2.8, 10.5
Whole numbers:
- 0.01 → 0 → smallest
- 0.76 → also 0 → but 0.76 > 0.01
- 2.8 → 2
- 7.15 → 7
- 10.5 → 10 → largest

Order: 0.01, 0.76, 2.8, 7.15, 10.5

Part 2: Descending Order

#### Row 1: 2.94, 0.94, 3.24, 11.7, 9.6
Start from largest:
- 11.7 → biggest
- 9.6
- 3.24
- 2.94
- 0.94 → smallest

Order: 11.7, 9.6, 3.24, 2.94, 0.94

#### Row 2: 0.57, 2.89, 5.4, 2.09, 4.07
Largest to smallest:
- 5.4
- 4.07
- 2.89
- 2.09
- 0.57

Order: 5.4, 4.07, 2.89, 2.09, 0.57

#### Row 3: 3.78, 0.8, 4.09, 2.56, 0.76
Largest to smallest:
- 4.09
- 3.78
- 2.56
- 0.8 → which is 0.80
- 0.76 → smaller than 0.80

Order: 4.09, 3.78, 2.56, 0.8, 0.76

Final Answer:

Ascending Order:

Row 1: 0.26, 1.8, 2.78, 5.7, 9.23
Row 2: 0.1, 2.09, 2.89, 3.45, 3.5
Row 3: 0.01, 0.76, 2.8, 7.15, 10.5

Descending Order:

Row 1: 11.7, 9.6, 3.24, 2.94, 0.94
Row 2: 5.4, 4.07, 2.89, 2.09, 0.57
Row 3: 4.09, 3.78, 2.56, 0.8, 0.76
