To compare decimal fractions, line them up by their decimal points, and


compare them by the same number of digits.
To compare 0.4 to 0.387 write them up as 0.400 to 0.387. We get, 0.4 > 0.387
To compare 0.0912 to 0.1, write them up as 0.0912 to 0.1000. We get, 0.0912 < 0.1

FACT 5:

To arrange decimal numbers by size, line the numbers up by their decimal


points; and then have smallest to largest digits in the left most columns.
Arrange the following numbers by size:
827.673, 0.0023, 0.3467, 80.08, 0.069, 9073.9073, 6.577, 0.5, 0.33
First make the number of digits on both sides of decimal point the same.
0827.6730, 0000.0023, 0000.3467, 0080.0800, 0000.0690, 9073.9073, 0006.5770,
0000.5000, 0000.3300
Arrange them by smallest digit in the leftmost column.
0000.0023, 0000.0690, 0000.3300, 0000.3467, 0000.5000, 0006.5770, 0080.0800,
0827.6730, 9073.9073,
Remove the preceding and trailing zeroes.
0.0023, 0.069, 0.33, 0.3467, 0.5, 6.577, 80.08, 827.673, 9073.9073,
