Strategies for comparing different
types of numbers
1. Plot each number on a number line.
•
Write these numbers in order from least to
greatest.
2. Rewrite the numbers as all decimals.
• EX:
Order the following numbers from least to
greatest.
6 1/2 = 6.5
0.5
2 1.00
-10
0
6.8 is already a decimal
5
1 =
0. 2
5 1.00
-10
5
0
6.4 is already a decimal
5.2
6.4
6.5
6.8
5 1
5
6.4
6 1
2
6.8
3. Rewrite the numbers as all fractions.
•EX:
Compare 5 3 and 5.63
4
Rewrite 5 3 as 5 75
4
100
Rewrite 5.63 as 5 63
100
( 3 = 75 )
4 100
Compare 5 75
100
Therefore
