Ordering numbers is arranging the numbers in a particular order to make comparison easier.
Example: 11, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 6, 44, 6 are the numbers in a given list.
Ordering the list from smallest to highest: 2, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 11, 11, 44.
From the list, how many are greater than 8?
Answer: 4 are greater than 8 (9, 11, 11, 44).
When the numbers are ordered it makes comparison easier.

What do you need to line up decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
You do not, but it is easier.
What is comparing and ordering rational numbers?
Rational numbers are roots, decimals, fractions, and whole numbers. Bascially anything that can become a decimal. Irrational numbers are like pi. I'm pretty sure to be irrational, they have to repeat. Anyway, ordering them and comparing them means looking at them and seeing which is smallest and largest. Then you order them (smallest to largest or whatever it says).
How comparing and ordering fractions?
Convert them all to their decimal equivalents (by dividing each numerator by its denominator), then you can easily see which numbers are greater than others.
What does comparing Mixed Numbers mean?
You tell whats the same and different.
Why do you need to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
This answer is irrelevant because you did not explain yourself, the correct answer is,"Its important so you can separate whole numbers for parts of whole numbers."
What is comparing and ordering numbers?
The comparing and ordering of numbers is referred to as factorization. Numbers are factored into certain multiples such that the resolution of the entity into the factors when multiplied together will give the original entity.
What is the definition of comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals?
place value :)

How are comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals similar?
They are similar because when you compare decimals you say the larger one has more value so the decimal is larger like in comparing whole numbers the number that has more value is larger. So they are very similar.

Why can it help to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
Lining the numbers up makes it easier to spot 0s between the decimal point and the leading non-zero digit.

What does it mean by comparing and ordering whole numbers?
Putting them in ascending order. For example: 17, 29, 23 Compare 17 & 29. They are in order. So leave them Compare 29 & 23. They are out of order. Swap them We now have 17, 23, 29 - they are in order.
Why is ordering decimal numbers to two places like ordering numbers to 100?
0.95
Why do you switch a fraction into a percent?
In the real world the most common reason is because comparing the sizes of fractions which may have different denominators is not easy to do, especially if numerators and denominators are both large numbers. Ordering numbers is very easy when they are expressed as percentages.
