Arrange the following collection of integers in descending order :-

a) 12, -10, 13, 8, 15, -12, 16, 8

b) 18, 32, 24, 20, 13, 15, 17.12

c) 0, 59, 70, 32, 45, 88, 9, 51, 35

d) 76, 6, 53, 34, 23, 2, 87, 98

$\sf{ \purple{How \: you \: can \: arrange \: in \: Descending \: order?}}$

When we arrange the numbers from the largest to the smallest numbers, then those numbers are said to be arranged in the descending order. So for arranging the numbers in descending order first we will write the greater number than the smaller ones.

$\sf{ \green{Remember:}}$

✾ All the numbers on the right of the zero represents positive integers.

✾ All the numbers on the left side of the zero represent negative integers.

✾ Every integer can we represent by some point at equal intervals on state line this state line is called number line.

$\sf{ \green{Some \: Observations :-}}$

If a > b, then -a < -b, where a and b are integers.

Similarly,

If 3 < 6 then, -3 > -6 and so on......

$\red{\large{\underline{\underline{ \rm{Solution: }}}}}$

$\sf{a) \: 16 > 15 > 13 > 12 > 8 > 8 > - 10 > - 12}$

$\sf{b) \: 32 > 24 > 20 > 18 > 17.12 > 15 > 13}$

$\sf{c) \: 88 > 70 > 59 > 51 > 45 > 35 > 32 > 9 > 0}$

$\sf{d) \: 98 > 87 > 76 > 53 > 34 > 23 > 6 > 2}$
