Similarly, descending order is the pattern where the larger order value appears first and then the second largest and then it continues till the smallest order value. For example,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\text{The numbers given are } 100,150,134,128,112,146\\text{.}<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\text{These numbers can be written in\u00a0 descending order as}: 150,146,134,128,112,100 .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Descending Order Symbol<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symbol used to represent a sequence in descending order is \u201c&gt;\u201d. It is used in such a way that the open-end faces towards the larger value. For example, to arrange the numbers 20, 44, 37, 27, 34, 41 in descending order we can represent it as: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">44 &gt; 41 &gt; 37 &gt; 34 &gt; 27 &gt; 20.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Decimals in Descending Order<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decimals can be arranged in descending order by first looking at the whole number part and then to the part after the decimal point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if the numbers are 5.8, 10.3, 7.25. Then the arrangement can be done in descending manner easily by looking at the whole numbers and the order will be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 10.3 &gt; 7.25 &gt; 5.8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the whole number part is equal then the digit place at the tenth place after the decimal is looked at and if that is also equal then the hundredth-place digit is checked and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if the numbers are 6.30, 6.24, 6.27, 6.54. Then the arrangement can be done as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.54 &gt; 6.30 &gt; 6.27 &gt; 6.23.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Descending Order in Fractions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descending order means arranging a sequence from largest to smallest. Hence we can order fractions also in descending order. For example, if the fractions are <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{2}{5}, \\frac{3}{5}, \\frac{1}{5}, \\frac{4}{5}<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the arrangement can be done as<\/span> <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{4}{5}&gt;\\frac{3}{5}&gt;\\frac{2}{5}&gt;\\frac{1}{5}<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the fractions are like. If the given group of fractions is unlike, first convert the fractions to like fractions and then arrange in descending order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\text { If the Unlike fractions are } \\frac{2}{3}, \\frac{3}{5}, \\frac{4}{5}, \\frac{1}{3}<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\text { Then at first convert the fractions to like fraction by LCM method. }<\/span>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\text { The LCM of the denominators } 3 \\text { and } 5 \\text { is } 15 \\text {. Now converting unlike fractions to like: }<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{2}{3} \\times \\frac{5}{5}=\\frac{10}{15} <\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{3}{5} \\times \\frac{3}{3}=\\frac{9}{15} <\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{4}{5} \\times \\frac{3}{3}=\\frac{12}{15} <\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{1}{3} \\times \\frac{5}{5}=\\frac{5}{15}<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now the group of unlike fractions, <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{2}{3}, \\frac{3}{5}, \\frac{4}{5}, \\frac{1}{3}<\/span> can be written as <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{10}{15}, \\frac{9}{15}, \\frac{12}{15}, \\frac{5}{15} .<\/span> Which can be arranged in descending order easily as:<\/p>\n<span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{12}{15}&gt;\\frac{10}{15}&gt;\\frac{9}{15}&gt;\\frac{5}{15} \\text {. }<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Examples<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 1<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Rohini and her classmates gave a class test of 20 marks on Mathematics.

What do you mean by descending order?<br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Descending is the pattern where the larger order value appears first and then the second largest and then it continues till the smallest order value. For example, 50, 45, 44, 43, are in descending order.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q2. What is the symbol used to represent descending order<br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans: <\/strong>The symbol for descending order is \u2018&gt;\u2019. It is used in such a way that the open-end faces towards the larger value. For example, to arrange the numbers 45, 43, 50, 44, in descending manner we can represent it as 50 &gt; 45 &gt; 44 &gt; 43.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q3. How to differentiate between descending and ascending order?<br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descending order is the pattern where the larger order value appears first and then the second largest and then it continues till the smallest order value. Whereas Ascending order is the pattern where the smaller order value appears first and then the second one and it continues till the largest order value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the numbers 100, 45, 32, 68, 79, 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ascending order is : 20, 32, 45, 68, 79, 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descending order is: 100, 79, 68, 45, 32, 20.<\/span><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta Description: We can calculate the sum of the terms in a geometric progression using the formula  S = a(1-r^n)\/(1-r) when r < 1 and  S = a(r^n-1)\/(r-1)when r>1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":714,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
