Identifying Groups of Numbers in Decreasing Order

which of the following groups of numbers is arranged in decreasing order?

A. 54 987, 54 781, 54 609, 54 435 b. 27 567, 27 543, 27 572, 27 531 c. 346, 341, 314, 432, 567 d. 46 456, 52, 134, 67 324, 74 567

To determine which group of numbers is arranged in decreasing order, we need to compare the numbers in each group.

A. 54,987; 54,781; 54,609; 54,435

• This group is in decreasing order.

B. 27,567; 27,543; 27,572; 27,531

• This group is not in decreasing order (27,572 is greater than 27,543).

C. 346; 341; 314; 432; 567

• This group is not in decreasing order (432 and 567 are greater than the others).

D. 46,456; 52; 134; 67,324; 74,567

• This group is not in decreasing order (74,567 is greater than the others).

The only group that is arranged in decreasing order is A. 54,987; 54,781; 54,609; 54,435.
