8.88, 8.088, 88.8, 88.08, 8.008

Answer 1

8.88, 8.088, 88.8, 88.08, 8.008
Converting each decimal into like decimals:
8.880, 8.088, 88.800, 88.080, 8.008
Clearly, 88.800 > 88.080 > 8.880 > 8.088 > 8.008
Hence, the given decimals can be arranged in the descending order as follows:
88.8, 88.08, 8.88, 8.088 and 8.008
