Converting Between Fractions and Decimals

This video tutorial by Mr. Peterson covers how to order and compare fractions, decimals, and percents. It provides a step-by-step guide to converting numbers into a common format, ordering them from least to greatest or greatest to least, and rewriting them in their original format. The tutorial includes examples and explains the concepts of ascending and descending order, as well as how to compare numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols.
