Question
Arrange the following integers in descending order.
14, 27, 15, −14, −9, 0, 11, −17
Solution
14, 27, 15, −14, −9, 0, 11, −17
- Separating the positive integers 14, 27, 15, 11 and negative integers −14, −9, −17
- Arranging in descending order we get the positive integers 27, 15, 14, 11 and the negative integers −9, −14, −17.
- ‘0’ is neither positive nor negative and so it stand in middle.
- ∴ The numbers in descending order: 27, 15, 14, 11, 0, −9, −14, −17
