Ordinal Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Ordinal numbers are a great way to talk about the order of something. For example, the order of dates. These numbers are only used when data is provided and the data is to be arranged in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example:<\/strong> Someone who has performed well throughout the year may get the chance to be valedictorian. They would be <strong>first<\/strong> in line. But someone who performed well, but was unable to score as much as the person before in various tests and exams, may be <strong>second<\/strong> in line to be valedictorian. The person who has not performed well at all, has the least amount of chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The picture given below shows some athletes competing in a 500-m race. We can also use ordinal numbers to define their positions in order to see who the winner and runners-up of the race are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-3.png\" alt=\"Ordinal Numbers to define positions in a race\" class=\"wp-image-9308\" title=\"Ordinal Numbers to define positions in a race\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-3-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Other examples of ordinal numbers are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Jennifer always ranks 2nd in the class.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here 2nd is the ordinal number that tells you about the position that Jennifer has secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Jane is standing at the 5th place in the queue.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Hereby the ordinal number is 5th, we understand Jane\u2019s position in the queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Jenny came 3rd in the race.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here, 3rd is the ordinal number which tells you about the place that Jenny has secured in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>The 10th table is reserved.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here, the ordinal number 10th refers to the number of table reservations made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-ordinal-numbers-1-%E2%80%93-50-list\">Ordinal Numbers 1 <strong>\u2013 <\/strong>50 list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-4.png\" alt=\"Ordinal Numbers 1-50\" class=\"wp-image-9309\" title=\"Ordinal Numbers 1-50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-4.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-4-238x300.png 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-ordinal-numbers-51-%E2%80%93-100-list\">Ordinal Numbers 51<strong>\u2013<\/strong>100 list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-5.png\" alt=\"Ordinal Numbers 51-100\" class=\"wp-image-9310\" title=\"Ordinal Numbers 51-100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-5.png 621w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Ordinal-numbers-5-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-ordinal-numbers-v-cardinal-numbers\">Ordinal Numbers v. Cardinal Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The type of&nbsp; numbers that are used for counting the number of objects or persons are known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/number-sense\/cardinal-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">cardinal numbers<\/a>.<\/strong> This type of numbers are used for representing the cardinality of the number of elements in a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Cardinality means to know about the number of elements in a set.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Cardinal numbers can be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/natural-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">natural numbers<\/a> that we use while we are counting like one, two, three, four, five and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, ordinal numbers are used to determine the rank or position of any object or person. We write ordinal numbers using numbers as prefixes and adjectives as suffixes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us understand the difference with the help of an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Some students were asked to collect marbles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Tom collected 1, Jane collected 2, and Clove collected 3 marbles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here the numbers 1, 2, 3 are cardinal numbers as they represent the quantity of marbles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the one who scores maximum wins. So, Clove stands 1st, Jane stands 2nd and Tom stands 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Here the numbers 1st, 2nd and 3rd are ordinal numbers as they represent the position of the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-ordinal-numbers-v-nominal-numbers\">Ordinal Numbers v. Nominal Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A set of numbers that are used for labeling certain items or places so that they can be identified easily are known as nominal numbers. Whenever we have to identify an object uniquely, we use nominal numbers. These numbers are not of much use because they are just going to give information about location and not about its quantity, quality, etc. Nominal numbers can be used as area codes, on number plates of vehicles, etc. Operations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/addition\/addition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">addition<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/subtraction\/subtract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">subtraction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/multiplication\/multiplication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">multiplication<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/division\/division\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">division<\/a> are meaningless on nominal numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example:<\/strong> In a phone number like 202 588-6500, the number is a nominal number. Even if we apply an operation, it will not give us anything meaningful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">On the order hand, the ordinal numbers tell us about the rank or position of any object or person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example: Sophia lives in the 34th house on San Pablo Avenue, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-fun-fact\">Fun Fact!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">11, 12 and 13 are the only numbers to use a suffix \u2018\u2013th\u2019 but all other numbers ending with 1 use \u2018\u2013st\u2019, those ending with 2 use \u2018\u2013nd\u2019 and those ending with 3 use \u2018\u2013rd\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-solved-examples-on-ordinal-numbers\">Solved Examples On Ordinal Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1: Which English alphabet is 12th from the beginning?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: The alphabet that is 12th from the beginning is L.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2: Kim, Kethy, Kiah and Kaina are sitting in the line in alphabetical order. What is the position of Kiah from the beginning?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution<\/strong>: According to alphabetical order, the order in which they\u2019re sitting would be: Kaina, Kethy, Kiah, Kim. So, Kiah is at the 3rd position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 3. Christmas lies on the _____ of December.&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br><strong>Solution<\/strong>: Christmas lies on the 25th of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\"
