In a nutshell, the answer is no.
Fractions that have the same value as decimals are equal to each other.
They can be when the fraction you're talking about is a greater number than the decimal. For example...
- 0.25 is exactly the same value as 1/4 (one fourth).
- 2.5 is exactly the same value as 5/2 (five halves).
- 0.99 is not the same value as 9/10 (nine tenths). It's greater.
- 0.48 is not the same value as 1/2 (one half). It's less.
Fractions are not-yet-calculated division statements. 3 divided by 5 is the same as 3/5 which is equal to 0.6 because 3 divided by 5 is 0.6.

How do you do greatest to least in fractions and decimals?
To compare decimals: look at the highest-order digit and compare. If it is the same, look at the next digit, and so forth. Thus, 23.5 is greater than 11.4 (because the tens digit is greater), 123.88 is greater than 25.82 (because the second number has no hundreds digit, so you can take it to be zero), 115.28 is greater than 113.99 (the first two digits are equal, so you compare the third digit). To compare fractions: use a calculator to convert to decimals, then compare. Alternately, you can convert to a common denominator, then compare the numerators.
