                  During an experiment, Cheng measured the growth of green beans under different
                  conditions. He recorded the heights of the bean plants 18 days after planting the seeds.

                  Bean Height of Bean Plant
                    A    1.01 cm
                    B    11.4 mm
                    C    1.11 cm
                    D    11.04 mm

                  Cheng wants to compare the heights of each bean plant to find
                  out which bean grew the fastest. Help him order the heights of
                 the bean plants in descending order.

             o Goh is writing an article in the local newspaper comparing the
                  prices of the silver pomfret fish at a fish market. He compared
                 the prices of the fish from four different fish shops.

                  Shop    Price per kg
                    A       $20.35

                    B       $29.99
                    C       $20.89
                    D       $29.90

                  Arrange the shops in order of price from cheapest to most
                  expensive.
