Sure! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step.

##
✔ Part 1: Arrange the decimals in
ascending order (smallest to largest)
We are given these 15 decimals:
```
5.7 2.78 0.26 1.8 9.23
2.09 0.1 3.45 2.89 3.5
7.15 0.76 0.01 2.8 10.5
```
Step-by-step strategy:
1. Compare the whole number part first.
2. If whole numbers are equal, compare tenths, then hundredths, etc.
3. List them from smallest to largest.
Let’s sort them:
Start with the smallest:
-
0.01 (smallest — less than 1)
-
0.1 (next smallest)
-
0.26
-
0.76
-
1.8
-
2.09
-
2.78
-
2.8 → same as 2.80 → so 2.78 < 2.80 < 2.89
-
2.89
-
3.45
-
3.5 → same as 3.50 → so 3.45 < 3.50
-
5.7
-
7.15
-
9.23
-
10.5 (largest)
✔ Final ascending order:
```
0.01, 0.1, 0.26, 0.76, 1.8, 2.09, 2.78, 2.8, 2.89, 3.45, 3.5, 5.7, 7.15, 9.23, 10.5
```

##
✔ Part 2: Arrange the decimals in
descending order (largest to smallest)
Given decimals:
```
2.94 0.94 3.24 11.7 9.6
0.57 2.89 5.4 2.09 4.07
3.78 0.8 4.09 2.56 0.76
```
Strategy:
Same as before — compare whole numbers first, then decimal places.
Largest to smallest:
-
11.7 (largest — over 10)
-
9.6
-
5.4
-
4.09
-
4.07
-
3.78
-
3.24
-
2.94
-
2.89
-
2.56
-
2.09
-
0.94
-
0.8
-
0.76
-
0.57 (smallest)
✔ Final descending order:
```
11.7, 9.6, 5.4, 4.09, 4.07, 3.78, 3.24, 2.94, 2.89, 2.56, 2.09, 0.94, 0.8, 0.76, 0.57
```
