Compare and order rational numbers written as fractions, decimals, and percents.
Compare two rational numbers in different forms
Problem
Compare \(3/4\) and \(0.72\), and write the true comparison statement.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Fractions and decimals become comparable once they use the same form. We’ll convert three fourths to a decimal, align it with zero point seven two by place value, and compare the first digit where they differ. Subtracting the smaller value from the larger gives a final check on the direction.
