Solution
123.45, 123.54, 125.43, 125.34, 125.3
Comparing the whole number parts we have 123 is the smallest number and two numbers 123.45 and 123.54 have same whole number part.
So in 123.45 and 123.54 comparing their digits in the tenths place we get 4 < 5
∴ 123.45 < 123.54 ...(1)
Now comparing the remaining numbers
125.43, 125.34, 125.3 they all have the same whole number part.
Comparing the numbers in the tenths place we have 3 < 4
∴ 125.43 is the greatest ...(2)
Also tenths place value 3 = 3 in 125.34 and 125.3
Again comparing the hundredths place value in 125.34 and 125.3, we get
125.3 < 125.34 ...(3)
From (1), (2) and (3) we have,
123.45 < 123.54 < 125.3 < 125.34 < 125.43

One measure of average global temperature shows how each year varies from a base measure. The table shows results for several years.
| Year | 1958 | 1964 | 1965 | 1978 | 2002 |
| Difference from base | 0.10°C | – 0.17°C | – 0.10°C | `(1/50)^circ`C | 0.54°C |
See the table and answer the following:
- Order the five years from coldest to warmest.
- In 1946, the average temperature varied by – 0.03°C from the base measure. Between which two years should 1946 fall when the years are ordered from coldest to warmest?
