SS =Comparing and Ordering Decimals=

Comparing decimals is almost exactly like comparing whole numbers except it's with decimals. You just use the greater than, less than, and equal to signs(>, <, =). First you look at the tenths column. If the numbers are equal you move on to the hundredths column and keep repeating until you run out of numbers, but if they're different you do the problem right there. To order decimals it's the same thing but with more than two numbers and instead of using <, >, and = you just put them in order from least to greatest.

Example
36.__3__ 36.8>36.3 36.__8__

36.8, 36.3, 36.5 36.3, 36.5, 36.8
