When multiplying mixed numbers and fractions does changing the order of the factors change the product?
No. The commutative and associative laws are valid for any real numbers.
How can a number line help order fractions mixed numbers and decimals?
If you place them properly then the smallest will be on the left, and they will be in increasing order until the largest on the right.
What does ascending order mean when using fractions?
"Ascending order" means each one is bigger or higher than the one before it. It doesn't matter whether they're fractions, whole numbers, mixed numbers, temperatures, costs, weights, volumes, decimals, etc.
How do you compare and order rational numbers?
To order fractions and decimals, you can either write them all in the same form and then compare them, or place them on a number line. Recall that numbers increase in value as you move from left to right along a number line.
How can you order decimals fractions and mixed numbers on a number line?
The easiest way is to convert the mixed numbers and fractions to decimals by dividing the numerators (top) numbers by the denominator (bottom) numbers of each fraction - for a mixed number, the whole number needs to be added on.Then, comparing the whole numbers order as much as possible the numbers. Start with the tenths digit (the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point)Sort those groups of numbers with the same digits so far based on the current decimal digitIf there are still groups of numbers, use the next decimal digit (hundredth, thousandth, etc) until a distinction can be made.Where there are a group of numbers with the same whole number, start looking at the decimal digits:Write the list out of numbers out in their original form (decimal, fraction or mixed number).
