Compare the decimals using >, <, or =: 0.47 ___ 0.74
Compare the tenths digits first.
0.47 < 0.74 because 4 tenths is less than 7 tenths. - 2
Compare the decimals using >, <, or =: 0.60 ___ 0.6
You can add a zero to the right of a decimal without changing its value.
0.60 = 0.6 because 0.6 is the same as 0.60, or 60 hundredths. - 3
Put these decimals in order from least to greatest: 0.35, 0.53, 0.30, 0.05
The decimals in order from least to greatest are 0.05, 0.30, 0.35, 0.53. - 4
Put these decimals in order from greatest to least: 0.82, 0.28, 0.80, 0.88
All four numbers are less than 1, so compare the tenths and then the hundredths.
The decimals in order from greatest to least are 0.88, 0.82, 0.80, 0.28. - 5
Maya ran 1.45 miles. Leo ran 1.54 miles. Who ran farther, and how do you know?
Leo ran farther because 1.54 is greater than 1.45. Both numbers have 1 whole, but 54 hundredths is greater than 45 hundredths. - 6
A number line goes from 0.20 to 0.30. Which decimal is closer to 0.30: 0.26 or 0.29?
Think about how many hundredths each number is from 0.30.
0.29 is closer to 0.30 because it is only 0.01 away, while 0.26 is 0.04 away. - 7
Compare the decimals using >, <, or =: 2.08 ___ 2.80
2.08 < 2.80 because both numbers have 2 wholes, but 08 hundredths is less than 80 hundredths. - 8
Write a decimal that is greater than 0.45 and less than 0.50.
Choose a number of hundredths between 45 and 50.
One possible answer is 0.47 because it is greater than 0.45 and less than 0.50. - 9
Put these prices in order from least to greatest: $3.09, $3.90, $3.19, $3.91
The prices in order from least to greatest are $3.09, $3.19, $3.90, $3.91. - 10
Which decimal is the greatest: 4.04, 4.40, 4.14, or 4.41? Explain your choice.
When the whole number parts are the same, compare the decimal parts.
4.41 is the greatest because all the numbers have 4 wholes, and 41 hundredths is greater than 40 hundredths, 14 hundredths, and 04 hundredths. - 11
Compare the decimals using >, <, or =: 6.5 ___ 6.05
Rewrite 6.5 as 6.50 before comparing.
6.5 > 6.05 because 6.5 is the same as 6.50, and 50 hundredths is greater than 05 hundredths. - 12
Three students measured the same pencil. Ana measured 7.25 inches, Ben measured 7.52 inches, and Cara measured 7.05 inches. List the measurements from shortest to longest.
The measurements from shortest to longest are 7.05 inches, 7.25 inches, and 7.52 inches. - 13
A shaded hundredths grid shows 63 shaded squares out of 100. Another grid shows 0.58 shaded. Which amount is greater?
63 shaded squares out of 100 can be written as 0.63.
The grid with 63 shaded squares is greater because 63 hundredths is 0.63, and 0.63 is greater than 0.58. - 14
Put these decimals in order from least to greatest: 5.75, 5.07, 5.70, 5.57, 5.77
The decimals in order from least to greatest are 5.07, 5.57, 5.70, 5.75, 5.77. - 15
On a race results chart, the times are 12.34 seconds, 12.43 seconds, 12.30 seconds, and 12.03 seconds. The fastest time is the least time. Which time is fastest, and which time is slowest?
For race times, a smaller number means a faster time.
The fastest time is 12.03 seconds because it is the least time. The slowest time is 12.43 seconds because it is the greatest time.
