Question

Which of the following decimals are arranged in ascending order?
A.0.5,0.42,0.382
B.11.001, 11.1, 11.21
C.20.3, 30.02, 23.45
D.8.9, 8.86, 8.094

Answer 1

HINT: - Firstly, we will convert all the given options to the same number of places after the decimal or till the same number of decimal positions.
After doing this we can then arrange all the options in ascending order.

Complete step-by-step answer:

As mentioned in the hint above, we need to first bring all the options to the same places after the decimal or till the same number of decimal positions. This process is done by putting zeros at the end of the numbers till we reach the number of places after the decimal position that we want. For example, if we want to make 52.02 to have 5 decimal places, we will simply add zeros at the end like this- 52.02000. Now, the given number is having 5 decimal places. Now, we will follow the same process for the options as well.

A.0.500, 0.420, 0.382
B.11.001, 11.100, 11.210
C.20.30, 30.02, 23.45
D.8.900, 8.860, 8.094

Now, we check the ascending order of each of the given options and we get that
11.001, 11.100, 11.210 is the only option which is having an ascending order.

NOTE: -The student might commit a mistake in checking the ascending order of the options if he or she does not convert and bring all the options till the same number of decimal places otherwise there will be a chance of confusion in putting them in ascending order.
