Question

0.08, 0.008,0.0008, 8 arrange in descending order what is the sum of the middle two number

Answer 1

Order :- 8 , 0.08 , 0.008 , 0.0008

Sum of middle term = 0.08 + 0.008
= 0.088

Answer 2

Answer:

The descending order of the numbers are 8 > 0.08 > 0.008 > 0.0008

The sum of the middle two numbers is 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are 0.08, 0.008,0.0008, 8

To find,

Arrange the given numbers in the descending order

Solution:

To arrange the decimal numbers in descending order, we should find the equivalent fractions of the decimals

0.08 = $\frac{0.08 X100}{100}$ = $\frac{8}{100}$

0.008 = $\frac{0.008 X1000}{1000} = \frac{8}{1000}$

0.0008 = $\frac{0.0008 X10000}{10000}$ = $\frac{8}{10000}$

To find the equivalent fractions 0.08, 0.008,0.0008, 8, we should make the denominator equal to 10000.

0.08  = $\frac{8}{100}$ = $\frac{800}{10000}$

0.008 $= \frac{80}{10000}$

0.0008 = $\frac{8}{10000}$

8 = $\frac{80000}{10000}$

Here, we have got the equivalent fractions of the given decimal numbers.

Since the denominators are the same, the number with the greater numerator will be the greatest.

Hence the descending order of the numbers are

$\frac{80000}{10000}$  > $\frac{800}{10000}$ >   $\frac{80}{10000}$ >  $\frac{8}{10000}$

Hence, the descending order of the numbers are

8 > 0.08 > 0.008 > 0.0008

The sum of the middle two numbers is 0.08 + 0.008

= 0.088

The sum of the middle two numbers is 0.088
