Saxon Course 2: Lesson 33 (Slides)

Lesson 33

• Comparing Decimals

• Rounding Decimals

​Comparing Decimals

​Example: Arrange these decimal numbers in order from least to greatest:

0.13, 0.128, 0.0475

​Solution: 0.0475, 0.128, 0.13

​The third number has a 0. So we can determine that 0.0475 is the least of the three numbers. Since 0.128 has a 2 in the hundredths place, it is less than 0.13, which has a 3 in the hundredths place.

​Rounding Decimals
