Comparing and Ordering Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

COMPARE AND ORDER FRACTIONS, DECIMALS AND PERCENTS
Order ¾ , 0.8 and 70% from greatest to least.
4
3 = .75 (very common but if necessary, divide numerator by denominator)
0.8 = .8 Order: 0.8, 4
3, 70%
70% = .7 Hint: When ordering use the original numbers.
