Rearrange numbers in the descending order:

5.3, 7.7, 18.7, 19.9, 11.4, 13.6

Step: 1

Explanation:

Noting the given numbers.

Step: 2

Compare the first two numbers, 5.3 and 7.7. Since 7.7 is greater than 5.3, we swap their positions.

New order: 7.7, 5.3, 18.7, 19.9, 11.4, 13.6.

Compare the next two numbers, 7.7 and 18.7. Since 18.7 is greater than 7.7, we swap their positions.

New order: 18.7, 5.3, 7.7, 19.9, 11.4, 13.6.

Explanation:

Comparing the two numbers and writing the new order.

Step: 3

Compare the next two numbers, 7.7 and 19.9. Since 19.9 is greater than 7.7, we swap their positions.
```
New order: 18.7, 5.3, 19.9, 7.7, 11.4, 13.6.
```
Compare the next two numbers, 19.9 and 7.7. No swap is needed since 19.9 is already greater than 7.7.

Current order: 18.7, 5.3, 19.9, 7.7, 11.4, 13.6.

Explanation:

Comparing the next two numbers and writing the new order.

Step: 4

Compare the next two numbers, 19.9 and 11.4. Since 19.9 is greater than 11.4, we swap their positions. New order: 18.7, 5.3, 19.9, 11.4, 7.7, 13.6.
Compare the last two numbers, 11.4 and 13.6. Since 13.6 is greater than 11.4, we swap their positions. New order: 18.7, 5.3, 19.9, 13.6, 7.7, 11.4.

Explanation:

Comparing the next two numbers and writing the new order.

Step: 5

At this point, we have reached the descending order since we have compared all the numbers.

Explanation:

Final order: 19.9, 18.7, 13.6, 11.4, 7.7, 5.3.
