comparing and ordering decimals

A decimal is a number that includes a decimal point, which separates the whole number part from the fractional part. For example, 4.5 is a decimal.

To compare two decimals, align them by the decimal point and compare digit by digit from left to right.

Decimals are equal if they represent the same value, even if they have different numbers of digits. For example, 4.22 and 4.220 are equal.

0.05, 0.5, 0.55.

0.36 is less than 0.4.

3.5 can be written as 3 + 0.5.

The first step is to align the decimals by the decimal point.

They are all equal because they represent the same value.

1.1 is the greatest decimal.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
