ORDERING NUMBERS

A dance reality show is conducted 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 110 95 152 193

write 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. So, we write it next to 110, that is,

95 < 110 < 152.

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

Arranging numbers 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.

Arranging numbers 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.
