I don't understand ordering numbers in comparing,could you explain it to me.
I'm not sure what your question is asking, can you give an example of the prolblem you're doing?
Typically, we order numbers by arranging them from least to greatest or the other way. Comparing means to determine which is larger or smaller and arranging them the way you're asked to do.
least to greatest
Sure! Ordering numbers involves arranging them in a sequence based on their size or value. This can be done in two ways: from least to greatest, which is called ascending order, or from greatest to least, which is called descending order.
To compare and order numbers, follow these steps:
1. Start by comparing the first digits of the numbers. If one number has a greater or smaller first digit, then you know that it will come after or before the other number in the ordering.
2. If the first digits are the same, move on to the second digits, and compare them. Continue this process until you've compared all the digits.
3. If all the digits match, but the numbers have different lengths, the number with more digits is considered greater. For example, 100 is greater than 99.
4. Once you determine the order, write the numbers in the sequence from least to greatest or greatest to least.
Here's an example:
Let's order the numbers 25, 15, 36, and 42 in ascending order.
Step 1: The first digits are 2, 1, 3, and 4. The smallest first digit is 1, so 15 will be the first number in the sequence.
Step 2: The next digits are 5, 5, 6, and 2. The smallest second digit is 2, so 25 will come after 15.
Step 3: The next digits are 5, 6, and 4. The smallest third digit is 4, so 42 will come after 25.
Step 4: Finally, we have 36 left, which comes after 42.
So, in ascending order, the numbers are 15, 25, 36, 42.
Remember, this is just one way to order numbers, and you can also use greater than (>) or less than (<) symbols to compare numbers and determine their order.
