In this worksheet, arrange numbers in order, placing the largest first.
This is known as descending or decreasing order.
Example
Put the numbers in order, largest first.
Answer
5.6 is the largest as 5 is the largest ones digit.
Then we compare 4.2 and 4.8, which both have the next largest ones digit. We compare the tenths digits to see that 4.8 is larger than 4.2.
The next largest number is 2 or 2.0.
The smallest number is 1.1.
