Comparing and Ordering Decimal Practice
Steps for Comparing:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Line up the decimal places.
Fill in zeroes so that both numbers have the same number of decimal places. (This does not change the
value of the number.)
Start with the furthest digit to the left. Move to the right until the two digits are not the same.
The number with the greater digit in that place value is the greater number.
Example:
4.09 and 4.089
Step 1- Line up the decimal places
4. 09
4. 089
Step 2- Fill in zero so that both numbers have the same number of decimal places
4. 09__ Fill in zero
4.090
4. 089
4.089
Step 3- Start with the furthest digit to the left. Move to the right until the two digits are not the same
4. 090
4. 089
Start with 4 (Same value-move to the next digit)
Next digit is 0 (Same value-move to the next digit)
Next digits are different.
Step 4- The number with the greater digit in that place value is the greater number
9 is greater than 8 so 4.09 is greater than 4.089
4.090 > 4.089
