First, you draw a number line. You then make points for the counting numbers, and place the mixed numbers and decimals between these points, getting their own points and labels.

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.


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).


Why converting decimals to fractions using number line is difficult?

Because some decimal numbers can't be converted into fractions if they are irrational numbers.


How do you add decimals together?

to add decimals: -line up the decimal points -then starting at the farthest place to the right, add the decimal in each place -if the sum of the digits in a place are greater than nine,regroup the number to the place to its left. -check the sum by writing each decimal as an equivalent fraction and then adding these numbers or mixed numbers.
