Example Set 1
3.45 = 3 + 0.4 + 0.05 0.129 = 0.1 + 0.02 + 0.009 2,907.8 = 2,000 + 900 + 7 + 0.8 |
Example Set 2
.3.45 = (3 x 1) + (4 x 0.1) + (5 x 0.01) 0.129 = (1 x 0.1) + (2 x 0.01) + (9 x 0.001) 2,907.8 = (2 x 1,000) + (9 x 100) + (7 x 1) + (8 x 0.1) |
Example Set 3
3.45 = (3 x 1) + (4 x 1/10) + (5 x 1/100) 0.129 = (1 x 1/10) + (2 x 1/100) + (9 x 1/1000) 2,907.8 = (2 x 1,000) + (9 x 100) + (7 x 1) + (8 x 1/10) |
Comparing numbers means you're deciding if one number is greater than, less than, or equal to another.
> greater than = equal to < less than Ordering numbers means you're deciding if more than two numbers are in order from least to greatest or greatest to least. To compare and order decimals:
