Fractions and decimals in order

You learn to put fractions and decimals in order together, from smallest to largest.

How to work it out

  1. Write each fraction as a decimal: 12 is 0.5 and 34 is 0.75.
  2. Give them all the same number of decimal places.
  3. Then put them in order from smallest to largest.

Put in order from smallest to largest: 34, 0.6, 12.

  1. Write everything as a decimal: 34 is 0.75, 12 is 0.5, and 0.6 stays 0.6.
  2. Make them the same length: 0.75, 0.50 and 0.60.
  3. So 12, 0.6, 34.
