In the given problems, we are tasked with arranging a set of large numbers in ascending order. Arranging numbers in ascending order means sorting them from the smallest to the largest number.
Problem 1
Numbers to arrange:
5,023,000
4,999,000
5,001,000
5,010,000
Step-by-step solution:
4,999,000 is the smallest because '4999' is less than the starting digits of all other numbers.
5,001,000 comes next since '5001' is just above '4999'.
5,010,000 follows as '5010' is next in line.
5,023,000 is the largest with '5023' being the highest number in the list.
Ascending Order:
4,999,000
5,001,000
5,010,000
5,023,000
Problem 2
Numbers to arrange:
7,500,000
6,800,000
7,800,000
6,500,000
Step-by-step solution:
6,500,000 is the smallest number because '6500' is less than any beginning digits here.
6,800,000 comes next since '6800' is just above '6500'.
7,500,000 follows as '7500' is higher compared to the previous numbers but lower than the next.
7,800,000 is the largest as '7800' beats them all.
Ascending Order:
6,500,000
6,800,000
7,500,000
7,800,000
In summary, when arranging numbers, focus on the leftmost differences moving to the right, and compare them digit by digit to determine the correct order.
