To compare 0.5 and 0.32, we can think of them as fractions: 0.5 is the same as 5/10, and 0.32 is the same as 32/100. To compare fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 100. When both fractions are written with a denominator of 100, we see that 0.5 is equivalent to 50/100, which is greater than 32/100. Therefore, 0.5 is greater than 0.32.
It is the former. 0.9 is greater than 0.25.
One way is to write equivalent fractions with like denominators. IF your ordering fractions AND decimals, write the decimal(s) as fractions. Then put them side by side and compare. for example. Lets say you have 3 fractions and one decimal. 7/8, 9/8, 1¼, and 0.75. Write 0.75 and 75/100 - that equals ¾. Then take the rest of the fractions and compare them so, 7/8, 9/8, 1¼, ¾. there are two 8s and two 4s. Since 4 can be multiplied by 2 to equal 8, 8 is your lowest common denominator. take the 1¼ and multiply the numerator and denominator by 2, that = 10/8, then take the ¾ and do the same thing and that = 6/8. Finally, take all your fractions, put them side by side, and compare them. So, 6/8, 10/8, 7/8, 9/8. Since the denominators are the same, you compare the top numbers. 6 < 7 < 9 < 10. So your answer is 0.75 < 7/8 < 9/8 < 1¼ Hope that helps :)
You divide the numerator by the denominator, and there's your decimal.
7/9= 0.777... so no. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Alternatively, working with fractions: Convert to fractions with the same denominator and compare the numerators: 0.7 = 7/10 = (7×9)/(10×9) = 63/90 7/9 = (7×10)/(9×10) = 70/90 70 > 63 → 70/90 > 63/90 → 7/9 > 0.7 → No, 0.7 is less than 7/9 Instead of converting to equivalent fractions with the same denominator to compare numerators, if (and only if) the numerators are the same, the fractions can be compared by comparing the denominators and the fraction with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction: 0.7 = 7/10 7/9 same numerators, so compare denominators: 10 > 9 → 7/10 < 7/9 → 0.7 < 7/9 → No, 0.7 is less than 7/9
