Lesson 3.3 Ordering Decimals Ordering Numbers on a Number Line Order the numbers x, y, and z from greatest to least. 3.6 4.5 5.2 Y Z X 3 4 5 5.2 > 4.5 > 3.6

Lesson 3.3 Ordering Decimals Ordering Numbers on a Number Line Order the numbers x, y, and z from greatest to least. 3.06 3.15 3.22 Y Z X 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.22 > 3.15 > 3.06

3.06 3.15 3.22 Y Z X 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.22 > 3.15 > 3.06 Lesson 3.3 Ordering Decimals Comparing Decimals When you graph decimals on a number line to compare them, the greater number is farther to the right. You can also compare decimals by looking at their place values. How?

Ordering Decimals Copy in your notebook • 3 STEPS FOR COMPARING & ORDERINGDECIMALS 5.796 and 5.85 • Write the decimals in a column, lining up the decimal points. 0 2. If necessary, write zeros to the right of the decimals so that all decimals have the same number of decimal places. 3. Compare place values from left to right. Since 8 > 7, 5.850 > 5.796
