In Mathematics, the set of numbers are arranged in two ways. It means that the numbers can be arranged either in ascending order or descending order. If the numbers are arranged from the least to the greatest, then it is called ascending order. In this form, the numbers are in increasing order. The first number should be lesser than the second number.
If the numbers are arranged from the greatest to the least, then it is called descending order. In this form, the numbers are in decreasing form. The first number should be greater than the second number.

Standard Form
<em>The standard form to represent the least to the greatest arrangement </em>of numbers is given by:
First we need to find what is the bigger dimension of the box, because the relay baton will occupy the box, and the larger dimension of the relay baton (that is, it's length) need to be less or equal than the larger dimension of the box.
The dimensions of the box are: 4 inches, 6 inches and 10 inches.
The larger dimension of the box is 10 inches. So, If we want the relay baton to fit in the box, the maximum length it can have is 10 inches.
