Understanding and Comparing Decimals

The video tutorial explains how to order decimals from least to greatest, especially when they have different numbers of digits to the right of the decimal. It involves writing the decimals vertically, aligning them by adding zeros, and then comparing them. The tutorial concludes by ordering the decimals in their original form.

What is the main challenge when ordering decimals with different numbers of digits?

• They have different values.

• They are difficult to read.

• They have different numbers of digits after the decimal point.

• They are in different units.

Why do we write decimals vertically when comparing them?

• To change their values.

• To easily compare the digits in each place value.

• To convert them into fractions.

• To make them look neat.

What is the purpose of adding zeros to some decimals?

• To make them look longer.

• To convert them into whole numbers.

• To make them easier to compare without changing their value.

• To increase their value.

Which decimal is equivalent to twelve-hundredths?

• Zero point one, zero, nine

• Zero point zero, nine, eight

• Zero point zero, nine

• Zero point one, two

What is the smallest decimal in the list after adjustment?

• Zero point one, two

• Zero point zero, nine

• Zero point zero, nine, eight

• Zero point one, zero, nine

Which decimal comes after ninety-eight thousandths when ordered from least to greatest?

• Zero point one, two

• Zero point zero, nine

• Zero point one, one

• Zero point one, zero, nine

What is the largest decimal in the original list?

• Zero point one, two

• Zero point zero, nine, eight

• Zero point one, zero, nine

• Zero point zero, nine

Why is it important to revert decimals to their original form after ordering?

• To ensure the values are correct.

• To match the format of the original problem.

• To make them easier to read.

• To convert them into fractions.
