Ordering and Comparing Rational NUmbers

Comparing and ordering rational numbers

who is better, bigger, stronger??

Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers

• Rational numbers are any numbers written as a fraction, decimal, and all integers

• All numbers MUST be in the same form

• (all fractions)/(all decimals)

• Least to Greatest (Smallest to Biggest)

• Greatest to Least (Larger to Smaller)

• > greater than, < less than, = equal to

Multiple Choice

Order from least to greatest: 4/5, 0.93, and 0.9

• 4/5, 0.93, 0.9

• 0.93, 4/5, 0.9

• 4/5, 0.9, 0.93

• 0.93, 0.9, 4/5

Multiple Choice

order from least to greatest: 3/5, 0.84, 0.7

• 3/5, 0.84, 0.7

• 3/5, 0.7, 0.84

• 0.84, 3/5, 0.7

• 0.84, 0.7, 3/5

Multiple Choice

Put the following rational numbers in ascending order.

0.3, -0.6,  $$-\ \frac{3}{4}$$  , 1  $$\frac{1}{5}$$  , -1

• -1,  $$-\ \frac{3}{4}$$  , -0.6, 1, 1 $$\frac{1}{5}$$  

• -1, -0.6,  $$-\ \frac{3}{4}$$  , 1, 1 $$\frac{1}{5}$$  

Multiple Choice

1.   Order each number from GREATEST to LEAST

    $$\left|-3.4\right|,\ \frac{5}{2},\ -1.2$$  

• $$\left|-3.4\right|,\ \frac{5}{2},\ -1.2$$  

• $$\frac{5}{2},\ \left|-3.4\right|,\ -1.2$$  

• $$-1.2,\ \frac{5}{2},\ \left|-3.4\right|$$  

• $$\left|-3.4\right|,\ -1.2,\ \frac{5}{2}$$  

Multiple Choice

2.  Order each number from GREATEST to LEAST

  $$342,\ \ 12,\ -142$$  

• -142,  12,  342

• 342,   12,   -142

• -142,   342,   12

• 342,   -142,   12

Multiple Choice

3.  Order each number from GREATEST to LEAST

$$\left|-2\right|,\ 0\ ,\ 4$$  

• |-2|, 4, 0

• 4,  |-2|,  0

• 0, |-2|, 4

• |-2|, 0, 4

Multiple Choice

1.  Order each number from LEAST to GREATEST

      $$\left|-\frac{1}{2}\right|,\ \ 3,\ \ -1.6$$  

• $$3,\ \left|-\frac{1}{2}\right|,\ \ -1.6$$  

• $$3,\ -1.6,\ \left|-\frac{1}{2}\right|$$  

• $$\left|-\frac{1}{2}\right|,\ -1.6,\ \ 3$$  

• $$-1.6,\ \ \ \left|-\frac{1}{2}\right|,\ \ 3$$  

Multiple Choice

2.  Order each number from LEAST to GREATEST

     $$-452,\ \ 23,\ \ 622$$  

• 622,  23,  -452

• 23,  -452,  622

• -452,  23,  622

• 23, 622, -452

Multiple Choice

1.    Order each number from LEAST to GREATEST

     $$-33321,\ \ \ \ -38124,\ \ \ -42123$$  

• -33321,  -38124,  -42123
