Fractions and decimals in order
You learn to put fractions and decimals in order together, from smallest to largest.
How to work it out
- Write each fraction as a decimal: 12 is 0.5 and 34 is 0.75.
- Give them all the same number of decimal places.
- Then put them in order from smallest to largest.
Put in order from smallest to largest: 34, 0.6, 12.
- Write everything as a decimal: 34 is 0.75, 12 is 0.5, and 0.6 stays 0.6.
- Make them the same length: 0.75, 0.50 and 0.60.
- So 12, 0.6, 34.
More examples
Put in order: 15 and 0.25.
- 15 is 0.2.
- So 15, then 0.25.
Put in order: 23 and 0.7.
- 23 is about 0.67.
- So 23, then 0.7.
