Understanding Decimals and Ordering

The video tutorial explains how to order repeating decimals by arranging them vertically, equalizing their decimal places, and comparing them column by column. The process involves identifying the smallest number by examining each decimal place from left to right. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the steps involved in ordering the numbers.
