ORDERING NUMBERS

A dance reality show is being held in

Mumbai. The contestants have to perform

in order of the numbers allotted to them.

To know who will perform first and who will

perform last among the four contestants
shown in the picture, we can arrange the

allotted numbers in order from the smallest

to the greatest or greatest to the smallest.

• 95 is the smallest number. So, we write 110 95 152 193

it first.

• 110 is the smallest of the remaining three numbers. So, we write it next to 95,

that is, 95 < 110.

• 152 is the smaller of the remaining two numbers. So, we write it next to 110, that is,

95 < 110 < 152.

• 193 is the greatest. So, we write it at last as 95 < 110 < 152 < 193.

The order of numbers arranged from the smallest to the greatest is called ascending

order or increasing order.

Thus, 95 < 110 < 152 < 193 is the ascending order of the allotted numbers.

The order of numbers arranged from the greatest to the smallest is called descending

order or decreasing order.

Thus, 193 > 152 > 110 > 95 is the descending order of the given numbers.
