You would want to put numbers in order when

• comparing grades
• placing events in date order
• comparing the cost of two or more objects

How do we actually compare two numbers to each other? Line up the numbers being compared. Then compare the place value for each digit starting from the left. Find the first difference. The number with the largest digit is the largest number.

Example: Order the numbers:

9,568

9,471

9,568

9,471

The hundreds digit is the first difference. Since 5 is larger than 4, the number 9,568 is larger than the number 9,471

Ordering decimal Numbers

Align the ones digit for the numbers. Compare the place value for each digit starting from the left. Find the difference, the number with the largest digits is the largest number.

Example:

Which  of the following numbers is larger?

357,2153 and 357.241

357.2153

357.241

The hundredths digit is the first difference. Since 4 is larger than 1, the number 357.241 is larger than 357.2153.

Order Fractions with a Common Denominator.

When the denominators are the same, then the proper/improper fraction with the largest numerator is  the largest fraction.

Example:

Order the numbers 7/13 and 11/13.

The fractions have a common denominator of 13. Thus, compare the numerators. Since 7<11,

7/13 <>

Ordering Fractions with Different Denominators

When the denominators are different rewrite the fractions using a common denominator. The proper/improper fraction with the largest numerator with the largest numerator is the largest fraction.

Example:

Order the numbers 3/5 and 4/9.

The fractions have different denominators. Since 45 is the least common multiple of 5 and 9, rewrite the fractions using a denominator of 45.

3/5=27/45

4/9 = 20/45

Now that the fractions are written with a common denominator, compare the numerators. SInce 27>20

3/5 = 27/45 > 20/45 = 4/9

Alternatively, when the fractions have different denominators, find the equivalent of each fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator, compare the equivalents

Converting Fractions, Decimals, & Percents

Converting from a decimal to a percent:

Multiply the decimal by 100.

Converting a percent to a decimal:

Divide the percent 100.

Examples:

Convert 0.25 to a percent:

(0.25 x 100) = 25%

Convert 75% to a decimal:

(75 /100) = 0.75

Fractions, decimals, and percents can be used to represent part of a whole. It is important to know how to convert  common fractions and common percents.

Fraction = decimal = percent

1/10 = 0.1 = 10%

1/5 = 0.2 = 20%

1/2 = 0.5 = 50%

3/4 = 0.75 = 75%

4/5 = 0.8 = 80%

9/10 = 0.9 = 90%
