Isabella ran the 100-meter dash five times. The time it took her to complete each race, in seconds, was 12.7, 12.807, 12.78, 12.08, and 12.087. Isabella wants to order the race times from her slowest time to her fastest time. Sort the decimals in order from greatest to least.

Given:

Number of 100-meter races = 5

The time it took Isabella to complete each race, in seconds, was 12.7, 12.807, 12.78, 12.08, and 12.087.

To find:

The decimals in order from greatest to least.

Solution:

The time it took Isabella to complete each race, in seconds, was shown below:

12.7, 12.807, 12.78, 12.08, 12.087

We need to arrange this data in descending order.

In all 5 numbers the digits before decimals are same. On comparing the digits on the tenth place and hundredth place, we get

12.807 > 12.78 > 12.7 > 12.087 > 12. 08

Therefore, the required order of given data is 12.807, 12.78, 12.7, 12.087, 12. 08.
