Ordering Decimals: Definition, Types, Examples

What is ordering decimals, place values chart in decimals, different types of ordering, solved examples on ordering decimals, practice problems on ordering decimals, frequently asked questions on ordering decimals.

Arranging decimal numbers in a specific order, i.e, ascending or descending, on the basis of the place values is known as ordering decimals.

Decimals are numbers that have a whole number part and a fractional part divided by a decimal point. Decimals just like any other numbers can be compared and ordered in either ascending or descending order.

Comparing and ordering decimals gets easier with the place value chart. The following image shows the place value chart in decimals.

Place value chart in decimals

Let’s understand the place values of decimals with an example. Consider the decimal number 1111.1111. Every place has the same digit. However, their place values are different!

Steps of Ordering Decimals

To order decimal numbers, we need to first learn how to compare decimal numbers. 

Step 1: Use the place value chart!

Write the decimals in the place value chart such that the place values of all the decimals are aligned. The empty boxes at the end of the decimal can be filled with zeroes.

Step 2: Compare the whole number part first.

Always start comparing the digits at the highest place value. Thus, the decimal having the greater whole number part is greater!

For example: Consider the decimals 12.5 and 15.2.

12 is less than 15

Thus, 15.2 is greater than 12.5.

Step 3: Compare the tenths!

 If the whole number part matches, compare the next place value, tenth.

Consider the decimals 1.5 and 1.4.

The whole number is 1 in both numbers, thus we will compare the digits after the decimal point—4 and 5.

Thus, $1.5 \gt 1.4$

Step 4: Compare the hundredths.

If the digits at the tenth place are the same, move to the next place value and compare the digits.

Example: Consider the decimals 23.56 and 23.53. 

We will write them in the place value chart for better understanding!

Comparing decimals

The part 23.5 is the same in both the decimals.

Thus, we compare the digits at the hundredths place, 3 and 6.

$3 \gt 6$ and hence 23.56 is greater than 23.53.

Once you compare the given decimals, ordering them is just the matter of arranging them in increasing or decreasing order.

There are two different types of the ordering of decimals:

  • Ascending order: The order of decimal numbers such that, in a sequence, each decimal number is not less than the previous number, or we can also say that the terms are either equal or greater than the previous number.
  • Descending order: The order of decimal numbers such that, in a sequence, each decimal number is not more than the previous number, or we can also say that the terms are either equal or lesser than the previous number.

How to Order Decimals

To order decimals, we will first compare the decimals. Write the decimals in the place value chart in order to compare them. To arrange them in ascending order, we write them from the smallest to the greatest. To arrange them in descending order, we write them from the greatest to the smallest.

Example 1: Order decimals from least to greatest. 

5.31, 6.88, 7.21, 6.45

Comparing and ordering decimals

Compare the digits at ones place: we get $7 \gt 6 \gt 5$

Thus, 7.21 is the greatest decimal and 5.31 is the smallest.

To compare 6.88 and 6.45, compare the digits at the tenths place.

Since $4 \lt 8$, we get $6.45 \lt 6.88$

Thus, $5.31 \lt 6.45 \lt 6.88 \lt 7.21$

The given decimals can be arranged in ascending order as: 5.31, 6.45, 6.88, 7.21

Ordering Decimals in Ascending Order

To order the decimal numbers in ascending order, we will arrange the numbers in such a way that each decimal number is smaller than the next decimal number. It means increasing order. How can we order decimals from least to greatest? Simply compare them using the place value chart and start listing them in the increasing order.

Ordering Decimals in Descending Order

To order the decimal numbers in descending order, we will arrange the numbers in such a way that each decimal number is larger than the next decimal number. It means decreasing order.

  • The decimal numbers are of three types—terminating, non-terminating repeating, and non-terminating non-repeating.
  • The terminating and non-terminating repeating decimal numbers are classified as rational numbers.
  • The non-terminating non-repeating decimal numbers are classified as irrational numbers.

This article gives an insight into the concept of decimals, teaching us how to compare decimals and how to arrange them in ascending or descending order. Ordering decimals is a part of daily life, which we see commonly while comparing amounts of some objects and the values are in decimal numbers.

1. Compare and arrange the following decimal numbers in descending order:

0.51, 0.45, 3.22, 1.67, 0.452.

Solution: 

Write the numbers in the place value chart. Start comparing the digits at the highest place value, that is, the ones place.

Comparing and ordering decimals

Comparing the ones place digits, we get

$1.67 \lt 3.22$

For the decimals 0.51, 0.45, and 0.452, we compare the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths place.

$0.51 \lt 0.450 \lt 0.452$

The numbers in descending order are:

$3.22 \gt 1.67 \gt 0.51 \gt 0.452 \gt 0.45$

2. Which one is greater—1.01 or 1.10?

Comparing and ordering decimals example

The numbers 1.01 and 1.10 both have the same whole number part 1.

We will compare the digits at the tenths place, which are 0 and 1.

Thus $1.10 \gt 1.01$.

3. Arrange the given decimals in ascending order.

0.96, 6.01, 0.0009, 0.93

Solution: Start comparing the digits at the highest place value.

We get that 6.01 is the greatest decimal.

Between 0.96, 0.93 and 0.0009, we get

$0.93 \lt 0.96 \lt 0.0009$

Thus, the given decimals can be written in the ascending order as:

$0.93 \lt 0.96 \lt 0.0009 \lt 6.01$

Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.

Which one of the following is the same as 1.1?

Which of the following represents an ascending order of decimal numbers, which one of the following decimals is the smallest, choose the correct sign. 0.119 ____ 0.091.

What are terminating decimal numbers?

Terminating decimal numbers are numbers that have a finite number of digits after the decimal point, and they terminate after certain decimal places. For example, 0.5, 1.2345, etc.

What is the significance of ordering?

Ordering is an important part of life. Without ordering, analysis of sufficiently large data is almost impossible. We see ordering in almost every part of our life, like the order of events in a party, the order of items on a shelf, etc.

What are rational numbers in terms of decimals?

Rational numbers are numbers that have either terminating or non-terminating repeating decimal forms. These numbers can be represented as a fraction where the denominator is non-zero.

What are decimal fractions?

Decimal fractions are fractions whose denominator is a power of 10.

problem solving ordering decimals

A Bronze/Silver/Gold differentiated resource where pupils are given a list of decimals and a square grid. Pupils have to put the decimals into the grid so that each row and column is in ascending order.

In Bronze, the integer part of each decimal is the same. In Silver, the integer parts are different. In Gold, negatives are introduced. The grids get progressively larger as you move from Bronze to Gold as well.

Each puzzle has multiple solutions, but I’ve provided one possible solution to each.

Update 16/9/22: Changed the design of the tasks, but the content is the same.

Order Decimal Numbers — Online Practice Game (grades 4-7)

Practice ordering decimals (from the smallest to the greatest) by dragging them into "boxes" in the correct order. You can choose to order either 3 or 4 decimals.

You can also choose the number of decimal digits for the numbers. For example, students in 4th grade might use decimals with two decimal digits, and students in 5th grade decimals with three decimal digits (places). [Mobile users]: You might have to turn your phone landscape to get the decimals to fit.

Ordering Decimals Lesson

Example 1: The Glosser Family drove to a gasoline station in their neighborhood. The station has three gas pumps, each marked in price per gallon. Which pump has the lowest price per gallon? Which pump has the highest price per gallon?

$1.79,  $1.96,  $1.61

Analysis: We know that 1.79 < 1.96 and that 1.79 > 1.61. Writing one decimal beneath the other in order, we get:

1 . 6 1
1 . 7 9  
1 . 9 6

Answer: The pump marked $1.61 has the lowest price per gallon. The pump marked $1.96 has the highest price per gallon.

In the example above, we ordered three decimal numbers from least to greatest by comparing them two at a time. Let’s look at some more examples.

Example 2: Order these decimals from least to greatest:  0.5629,  0.5621,  0.6521

Let’s examine these decimals in our place-value-chart.

Now let’s order these decimals from least to greatest  without  our place-value chart. We will do this by comparing two decimals at a time.

0 . 5 6 2 1
0 . 5 6 2 9
0 . 6 5 2 1

Answer: Ordering these decimals from least to greatest we get:  0.5621,  0.5629,  0.6521.

In the examples above, the decimals in each problem had the same number of digits. Thus, they lined up nicely, one beneath the other. Let’s look at some examples in which the decimals presented have a different number of decimal digits.

Example 3: Order these decimals from least to greatest:  6.01,  0.601,  6.1

Let’s start by writing one decimal beneath the other in their original order. Note that these three decimals have a different number of decimal digits. 

6 . 0 1
0 . 6 0 1
6 . 1

Next, examine each decimal, writing one or more zeros to the right of the last digit, so that all decimals have the same number of decimal digits.

6 . 0 1 0
0 . 6 0 1
6 . 1 0 0

Now we can compare two decimals at a time.

From least to greatest, we get:   0.6010,  6.010,  6.100.

Answer: Ordering these decimals from least to greatest we get:  0.601,  6.01,  6.1.

Sometimes it is helpful to place a number in a circle to the right of each decimal you are trying to order. This is done in Example 4.

Example 4: Order these decimals from least to greatest:  3.87,  3.0875,  3.87502,  3.807

We have been asked to order four decimal numbers. Let’s start by writing one decimal beneath the other in their original order.

3 . 8 7
3 . 0 8 7 5
3 . 8 7 5 0 2
3 . 8 0 7
3 . 8 7 0 0 0
3 . 0 8 7 5 0
3 . 8 7 5 0 2
3 . 8 0 7 0 0

Now we can compare two decimals at a time. We will write a number in a circle next to each decimal to denote its order.

3 . 8 7 0 0 0
3 . 0 8 7 5 0
3 . 8 7 5 0 2
3 . 8 0 7 0 0

From least to greatest, we get:  3.08750,  3.80700,  3.87000,  3.87502

Answer: Ordering these decimals from least to greatest we get:  3.0875,  3.807,  3.87,  3.87502

Example 5: Order these decimals from least to greatest:  5.364,  6.0364,  5.36,  5.00364,  5.40364

We have been asked to order five decimal numbers. Let’s start by writing one decimal beneath the other in their original order. Next, examine each decimal, writing one or more zeros to the right of the last digit, as needed.

5 . 3 6 4 0 0
6 . 0 3 6 4 0
5 . 3 6 0 0 0
5 . 0 0 3 6 4
5 . 4 0 3 6 4
5 . 3 6 4 0 0
6 . 0 3 6 4 0
5 . 3 6 0 0 0
5 . 0 0 3 6 4
5 . 4 0 3 6 4

From least to greatest, we get:  5.00364,  5.36000,  5.36400,  5.40364,  6.03640

Answer: Ordering these decimals from least to greatest we get:  5.00364,  5.36,  5.364,  5.40364,  6.0364

Let’s look at some non-routine problems that involve comparing and ordering decimals.

Example 6: Write 3 decimals between 4.35 and 4.36 in order from least to greatest.

Analysis: We need to write a zero in the thousandths place for each of the given numbers.

4 . 3 5 0
4 . 3 6 0
4 . 3 5 0
4 . 3 6 0

Sample Answer 1: 4.351,  4.352,  4.353

Sample Answer 2: 4.354,  4.356,  4.358

Example 7: Write 3 decimals between 7.418 and 7.419 in order from least to greatest.

Analysis: We need to write a zero in the ten-thousandths place for each of the given numbers.

7 . 4 1 8 0
7 . 4 1 9 0
7 . 4 1 8 0
7 . 4 1 9 0

Sample Answer 1:   7 .4182,  7.4183,  7.4184

Sample Answer 2: 7 .4185,  7.4187,  7.4189

Example 8: Write the smallest possible decimal between zero and one that uses the digits 5, 0, 4, 1, 9, and 6 exactly once.

Answer: .014569. Note that a leading zero was  not  used here.

Example 9: Write the greatest possible decimal between zero and one that uses the digits 9, 0, 2, 7, 3 and 5 exactly once.

Answer:  .975320 (without a leading zero) or 0.97532 (with a leading zero). Note that these two decimals are equivalent.

Summary: When ordering decimals, first write one decimal beneath the other in their original order. Then compare them two at a time. When ordering four or more decimals, it is helpful to write a number in a circle next to each to order them.

Decimals in Expanded Form

problem solving ordering decimals

For students who have difficulty with expanded form, try familiarizing them with the decimal place value chart, and allow them to use it when converting standard form numbers to expanded form. There are actually five ways (two more than with integers) to write expanded form for decimals, and which one you use depends on your application or preference. Here is a quick summary of the various ways using the decimal number 1.23. 1. Expanded Form using decimals: 1 + 0.2 + 0.03 2. Expanded Form using fractions: 1 + 2 ⁄ 10 + 3 ⁄ 100 3. Expanded Factors Form using decimals: (1 × 1) + (2 × 0.1) + (3 × 0.01) 4. Expanded Factors Form using fractions: (1 × 1) + (2 × 1 ⁄ 10 ) + (3 × 1 ⁄ 100 ) 5. Expanded Exponential Form: (1 × 10 0 ) + (2 × 10 -1 ) + (3 × 10 -2 )

Rounding Decimals Worksheets

problem solving ordering decimals

Rounding decimals is similar to rounding whole numbers; you have to know your place value! When learning about rounding, it is also useful to learn about truncating since it may help students to round properly. A simple strategy for rounding involves truncating, using the digits after the truncation to determine whether the new terminating digit remains the same or gets incremented, then taking action by incrementing if necessary and throwing away the rest. Here is a simple example: Round 4.567 to the nearest tenth. First, truncate the number after the tenths place 4.5|67. Next, look at the truncated part (67). Is it more than half way to 99 (i.e. 50 or more)? It is, so the decision will be to increment. Lastly, increment the tenths value by 1 to get 4.6. Of course, the situation gets a little more complicated if the terminating digit is a 9. In that case, some regrouping might be necessary. For example: Round 6.959 to the nearest tenth. Truncate: 6.9|59. Decide to increment since 59 is more than half way to 99. Incrementing results in the necessity to regroup the tenths into an extra one whole, so the result is 7.0. Watch that students do not write 6.10. You will want to correct them right away in that case. One last note: if there are three truncated digits then the question becomes is the number more than half way to 999. Likewise, for one digit; is the number more than half way to 9. And so on...

We should also mention that in some scientific and mathematical "circles," rounding is slightly different "on a 5". For example, most people would round up on a 5 such as: 6.5 --> 7; 3.555 --> 3.56; 0.60500 --> 0.61; etc. A different way to round on a 5, however, is to round to the nearest even number, so 5.5 would be rounded up to 6, but 8.5 would be rounded down to 8. The main reason for this is not to skew the results of a large number of rounding events. If you always round up on a 5, on average, you will have slightly higher results than you should. Because most pre-college students round up on a 5, that is what we have done in the worksheets that follow.

Comparing and Ordering/Sorting Decimals Worksheets.

problem solving ordering decimals

The comparing decimals worksheets have students compare pairs of numbers and the ordering decimals worksheets have students compare a list of numbers by sorting them.

Students who have mastered comparing whole numbers should find comparing decimals to be fairly easy. The easiest strategy is to compare the numbers before the decimal (the whole number part) first and only compare the decimal parts if the whole number parts are equal. These sorts of questions allow teachers/parents to get a good idea of whether students have grasped the concept of decimals or not. For example, if a student thinks that 4.93 is greater than 8.7, then they might need a little more instruction in place value. Close numbers means that some care was taken to make the numbers look similar. For example, they could be close in value, e.g. 3.3. and 3.4 or one of the digits might be changed as in 5.86 and 6.86.

Ordering decimals is very much like comparing decimals except there are more than two numbers. Generally, students determine the least (or greatest) decimal to start, cross it off the list then repeat the process to find the next lowest/greatest until they get to the last number. Checking the list at the end is always a good idea.

Converting Decimals to Fractions and Other Number Formats

problem solving ordering decimals

There are many good reasons for converting decimals to other number formats. Dealing with a fraction in arithmetic is often easier than the equivalent decimal. Consider 0.333... which is equivalent to 1/3. Multiplying 300 by 0.333... is difficult, but multiplying 300 by 1/3 is super easy! Students should be familiar with some of the more common fraction/decimal conversions, so they can switch back and forth as needed.

Adding and Subtracting Decimals

problem solving ordering decimals

Try the following mental addition strategy for decimals. Begin by ignoring the decimals in the addition question. Add the numbers as if they were whole numbers. For example, 3.25 + 4.98 could be viewed as 325 + 498 = 823. Use an estimate to decide where to place the decimal. In the example, 3.25 + 4.98 is approximately 3 + 5 = 8, so the decimal in the sum must go between the 8 and the 2 (i.e. 8.23)

Base ten blocks can be used for decimal subtraction. Just redefine the blocks, so the big block is a one, the flat is a tenth, the rod is a hundredth and the little cube is a thousandth. Model and subtract decimals using base ten blocks, so students can "see" how decimals really work.

Adding and subtracting decimals is fairly straightforward when all the decimals are lined up. With the questions arranged horizontally, students are challenged to understand place value as it relates to decimals. A wonderful strategy for placing the decimal is to use estimation. For example if the question is 49.2 + 20.1, the answer without the decimal is 693. Estimate by rounding 49.2 to 50 and 20.1 to 20. 50 + 20 = 70. The decimal in 693 must be placed between the 9 and the 3 as in 69.3 to make the number close to the estimate of 70.

The above strategy will go a long way in students understanding operations with decimals, but it is also important that they have a strong foundation in place value and a proficiency with efficient strategies to be completely successful with these questions. As with any math skill, it is not wise to present this to students until they have the necessary prerequisite skills and knowledge.

Multiplying and Dividing Decimals

problem solving ordering decimals

Multiplying decimals by whole numbers is very much like multiplying whole numbers except there is a decimal to deal with. Although students might initially have trouble with it, through the power of rounding and estimating, they can generally get it quite quickly. Many teachers will tell students to ignore the decimal and multiply the numbers just like they would whole numbers. This is a good strategy to use. Figuring out where the decimal goes at the end can be accomplished by counting how many decimal places were in the original question and giving the answer that many decimal places. To better understand this method, students can round the two factors and multiply in their head to get an estimate then place the decimal based on their estimate. For example, multiplying 9.84 × 91, students could first round the numbers to 10 and 91 (keep 91 since multiplying by 10 is easy) then get an estimate of 910. Actually multiplying (ignoring the decimal) gets you 89544. To get that number close to 910, the decimal needs to go between the 5 and the 4, thus 895.44. Note that there are two decimal places in the factors and two decimal places in the answer, but estimating made it more understandable rather than just a method.

In case you aren't familiar with dividing with a decimal divisor, the general method for completing questions is by getting rid of the decimal in the divisor. This is done by multiplying the divisor and the dividend by the same amount, usually a power of ten such as 10, 100 or 1000. For example, if the division question is 5.32/5.6, you would multiply the divisor and dividend by 10 to get the equivalent division problem, 53.2/56. Completing this division will result in the exact same quotient as the original (try it on your calculator if you don't believe us). The main reason for completing decimal division in this way is to get the decimal in the correct location when using the U.S. long division algorithm.

A much simpler strategy, in our opinion, is to initially ignore the decimals all together and use estimation to place the decimal in the quotient. In the same example as above, you would complete 532/56 = 95. If you "flexibly" round the original, you will get about 5/5 which is about 1, so the decimal in 95 must be placed to make 95 close to 1. In this case, you would place it just before the 9 to get 0.95. Combining this strategy with the one above can also help a great deal with more difficult questions. For example, 4.584184 ÷ 0.461 can first be converted the to equivalent: 4584.184 ÷ 461 (you can estimate the quotient to be around 10). Complete the division question without decimals: 4584184 ÷ 461 = 9944 then place the decimal, so that 9944 is about 10. This results in 9.944.

Dividing decimal numbers doesn't have to be too difficult, especially with the worksheets below where the decimals work out nicely. To make these worksheets, we randomly generated a divisor and a quotient first, then multiplied them together to get the dividend. Of course, you will see the quotients only on the answer page, but generating questions in this way makes every decimal division problem work out nicely.

Ordering Decimals

"Could I have a 3.65 and an 0.8, please ... ?" NO, not THAT type of ordering. I mean putting them in order ...

Ordering decimals can be tricky. Because often we look at 0.42 and 0.402 and say that 0.402 must be bigger because there are more digits. But no!

We can use this method to see which decimals are bigger: 

  • Set up a table with the decimal point in the same place for each number.
  • Put in each number.
  • Fill in the empty squares with zeros .
  • Compare using the first column on the left
  • If the digits are equal move to the next column to the right until one number wins.

For order we pick the smallest first

 
For order we pick the largest first  

Example: Put the following decimals in ascending order:

1.506, 1.56, 0.8

In a table they look like this:

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
1 . 5 0 6
1 . 5 6  
0 . 8    

Fill in the empty squares with zeros:

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
1 . 5 0 6
1 . 5 6 0
0 . 8 0 0

Compare using the first column (Ones)

Two of them are "1"s and the other is a "0". Ascending order needs smallest first, and so "0" is the winner:

Answer so far: 0.8

Now we can remove 0.8 from the list:

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
1 . 5 0 6
1 . 5 6 0
- . - - -

Compare the Tenths

Now there are two numbers with the same "Tenths" value of 5, so move along to the "Hundredths" for the tie-breaker

Compare the Hundredths

One of those has a 6 in the hundredths, and the other has a 0, so the 0 wins (remember we are looking for the smallest each time). In other words 1.506 is less than 1.56:

Answer so far: 0.8, 1.506

Remove 1.506 from the list:

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
- . - - -
1 . 5 6 0
- . - - -

Only one number left, it must be the largest:

Answer: 0.8, 1.506, 1.56

Example: Put the following decimals in DESCENDING order:

0.402, 0.42, 0.375, 1.2, 0.85

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
0 . 4 0 2
0 . 4 2  
0 . 3 7 5
1 . 2    
0 . 8 5  

And we want to go from highest to lowest (descending).

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
0 . 4 0 2
0 . 4 2 0
0 . 3 7 5
1 . 2 0 0
0 . 8 5 0

Compare using the first column (Ones):

There is a 1, all the rest are 0. Descending order needs largest first, so 1.2 must be the highest. (Write it down in your answer and cross it off the table).

Answer so far: 1.2

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
0 . 4 0 2
0 . 4 2 0
0 . 3 7 5
- - - - -
0 . 8 5 0

Compare the Tenths.

The 8 is highest, so 0.85 is next in value.

Answer so far: 1.2, 0.85

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
0 . 4 0 2
0 . 4 2 0
0 . 3 7 5
- - - - -
- - - - -

Now there are two numbers with the same "Tenths" value of 4, so move along to the "Hundredths" for the tie-breaker

One number has a 2 in the hundredths, and the other has a 0, so the 2 wins. So 0.42 is bigger than 0.402:

Answer so far: 1.2, 0.85, 0.42, 0.402

Ones Decimal
Point
Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
- - - - -
- - - - -
0 . 3 7 5
- - - - -
- - - - -

Only 0.375 left, so the answer is:

Answer: 1.2, 0.85, 0.42, 0.402, 0.375
