 Cardinal number

The numbers that we use for counting are

called cardinal numbers.

Cardinal numbers tell us “How many of

something”

How to remember: "Cardinal is Counting"

for e x a m p l e

Example Numbers

Kate has a list of numbers as shown - 7, 8th, 10, Two, Fourth,

2nd. Identify the cardinal numbers.

Solution: 7, 10 and two help us in counting, whereas 8th,

fourth and 2nd helps us in identifying the position. Thus, 7,
10, and two are cardinal numbers.

Solution:
 solved on Car dinal
Example Numbers

Help Ryan, to calculate the number of vowels in "NUMBERS".

Also, identify the number of alphabets used to form this
word.

Solution: (i) We know that a, e, i, o, and u are the vowels and

in the given word u and e are used. Therefore, 2 vowels are
used to form this number

(ii) We start counting from N to S, we see that "Numbers" has

7 alphabets in all. Therefore, a total of 7 alphabets are
required to form the given word and here 7 is a cardinal
number.
 ordinal number

The numbers which give us the exact position

of an object are called ordinal numbers.

Ordinal numbers tell the position of an object

rather than their quantity.

How to remember: "Ordinal says what

Order things are in".
for e x a m p l e
The given picture shows some athletes competing in a 400 m race.
We can use ordinal numbers to define their position.

The numbers 1st(First), 2nd(Second), 3rd(Third), 4th(Fourth), 5th(Fifth), 6th(Sixth), 7th(Seventh), 8th(Eighth), 9th(Ninth)
and 10th(Tenth) tell the position of different athletes in the race. Hence, all of them are ordinal numbers.

Solution:
 solved on ordinal
Example Numbers

"The garden has colorful flowers". What is the 10th letter in

the above sentence?

Solution: In the given sentence, the first letter is ''T''. The second letter is ''h''.
Similarly, count the position of the letters in order, like, first, second, third,
and so on. So, we can see that the letter ''h'' comes in the 10th position.
Therefore, the tenth letter in the above sentence is "h".

 solved on ordinal
Example Numbers

Sam, Jenny, Mary, and Jack are standing in a queue in the

given order. Who is in the fourth position?

Solution: From the given information, we can say that: Sam is in the first
place, Jenny is in the second place, Mary is in the third place, and Jack is
in the fourth place. Therefore, Jack is standing in the fourth position.
