Ordering and Comparing Decimals

The video tutorial explains how to order decimals from least to greatest, especially when they have different numbers of digits after the decimal point. It demonstrates aligning decimals vertically to compare place values and adding zeros to create equivalent decimals. The tutorial concludes by ordering the decimals and listing them in their original form.

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

• They are in different units.

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

• They are all the same value.

• They have different whole number parts.

Why is it helpful to rewrite decimals vertically and align their place values?

• To make them look neater.

• To easily compare their whole number parts.

• To convert them into fractions.

• To easily compare their decimal parts.

What is the purpose of adding zeros to the right of a decimal?

• To make it equivalent to other decimals for comparison.

• To change its value.

• To make it larger.

• To make it a whole number.

How do you ensure that adding zeros to a decimal does not change its value?

• By converting it to a fraction.

• By ensuring the zeros are added to the right of the decimal.

• By multiplying the decimal by 10.

• By adding zeros to the left of the decimal.

Which decimal is the smallest after making them equivalent?

• 0.081

• 0.008

• 0.018

• 0.01

What is the order of the decimals from smallest to largest after comparison?

• 0.081, 0.08, 0.018, 0.01, 0.008

• 0.01, 0.008, 0.018, 0.08, 0.081

• 0.008, 0.01, 0.018, 0.08, 0.081

• 0.018, 0.008, 0.01, 0.08, 0.081

Why is it important to give the final list of decimals in their original form?

• To ensure accuracy in representation.

• To make them look longer.

• To change their values.

• To make them easier to read.

Which decimal is the largest in the original list?

• 0.01

• 0.08

• 0.018

• 0.081

What is the correct order of the original decimals from least to greatest?

• 0.008, 0.01, 0.018, 0.08, 0.081

• 0.018, 0.008, 0.01, 0.08, 0.081

• 0.01, 0.008, 0.018, 0.08, 0.081

• 0.081, 0.08, 0.018, 0.01, 0.008

What is the key takeaway from the process of ordering decimals?

• Aligning place values and making decimals equivalent simplifies comparison.

• Adding zeros to decimals changes their value.

• Decimals cannot be ordered.

• Decimals are always ordered by their whole number parts.
