Terminating decimalTerminating decimal– The place value of the last digit becomes the value of the The place value of the last digit becomes the value of the
denominator of the fraction. The numbers following the denominator of the fraction. The numbers following the decimal point become the numerator. Then simplify to decimal point become the numerator. Then simplify to lowest terms.lowest terms.
– Ex .56 – the last number is six and it is in the hundredths Ex .56 – the last number is six and it is in the hundredths place so 100 is the denominator and 56 is the numeratorplace so 100 is the denominator and 56 is the numerator

Section 5.8 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Objective – To compare and order fractions,
decimals, and percents Vocabulary
1. Common denominator – a common multiple of the denominators Ex: 2 3 three common denominators
3 4 of 3 and 4 are 12, 24, 36 2. Least Common Denominator – the lowest of the
common multiples So 12 would be the LCD of 12, 24, and 36
Section 5.8 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers 3. Rational Numbers – numbers that can be
written as a fraction – made up of whole numbers, integers, terminating and repeating decimals, fractions and percents
Remember in order to compare or order rational numbers, they must be in the same form – percent form, decimal form, or fraction form.
Section 5.8 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Ways to compare
1. Put in decimal for and compare the decimal values Ex: Compare 8/9 to 5/6
8/9 = .888… and 5/6 = .8333… So 8/9 > 5/6
2. Find the common denominator, make equivalent fractions and compare the numerators Ex: Compare 3/5 to 5/8
3/5 = 24/40 and 5/8 = 25/40 So 5/8 > 3/5
