Comparing and Ordering Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to order a set of four numbers, including decimals, a repeating decimal, a square root, and a fraction, from least to greatest. The process involves identifying positive and negative numbers, using a calculator to convert fractions and square roots to decimals, and comparing the decimal values to determine the order. The tutorial concludes with the final ordered list of numbers.

What types of numbers are included in the problem discussed in the video?
