Ordering Rational numbers

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.

To compare two rational numbers, convert them to a common denominator or convert them to decimal form and then compare their values.

Ordering numbers from least to greatest means arranging them in ascending order, starting with the smallest number and ending with the largest.

The greatest rational number is $$1\frac{8}{25}$$ .

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place the result over the original denominator.

The decimal equivalent of $$-1\frac{1}{4}$$ is -1.25.

To find the least common denominator, identify the multiples of the denominators and choose the smallest multiple that both denominators share.

The order from least to greatest is: -4/5, -2/3, 8/15, 3/5.

$$-3.4 < -2.5$$ .

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
