To arrange numbers in ascending and descending order, we start by understanding what each term means:
Ascending Order : This means arranging numbers from the smallest to the largest.
Descending Order : This means arranging numbers from the largest to the smallest.
Let's apply these definitions to the sets provided in the question:
a. 234, 455, 123, 345
Ascending Order : Start by identifying the smallest number. Order the numbers as follows:
123 , 234 , 345 , 455
Descending Order : Start by identifying the largest number. Order the numbers as follows:
455 , 345 , 234 , 123
b. 134, 617, 167, 189
Ascending Order : Start by identifying the smallest number. Order the numbers as follows:
134 , 167 , 189 , 617
Descending Order : Start by identifying the largest number. Order the numbers as follows:
617 , 189 , 167 , 134
c. 109, 239, 208, 196
Ascending Order : Start by identifying the smallest number. Order the numbers as follows:
109 , 196 , 208 , 239
Descending Order : Start by identifying the largest number. Order the numbers as follows:
239 , 208 , 196 , 109
This process allows you to systematically arrange numbers based on their value, either from smallest to largest for ascending order or from largest to smallest for descending order.
