You're given a worksheet that asks you to
order sets of five fractions and decimals from smallest to largest. The hint suggests converting all numbers to
decimals using division — this is the best approach because comparing decimals is straightforward.
Let’s solve each set one by one.
---
🔢 SET 1:
Numbers:
0.2, 3/10, 1/10, 0.25, 11/100
✔ Convert all to decimals:
- 0.2 → already decimal =
0.2
- 3/10 = 3 ÷ 10 =
0.3
- 1/10 = 1 ÷ 10 =
0.1
- 0.25 → already decimal =
0.25
- 11/100 = 11 ÷ 100 =
0.11
Now list them in order (smallest to largest):
→
0.1, 0.11, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3
Which correspond to:
→
1/10, 11/100, 0.2, 0.25, 3/10
✔ Answer for Set 1:
1/10 11/100 0.2 0.25 3/10

🔢 SET 2:
Numbers:
0.3, 3/5, 4/5, 0.7, 85/100
✔ Convert all to decimals:
- 0.3 →
0.3
- 3/5 = 3 ÷ 5 =
0.6
- 4/5 = 4 ÷ 5 =
0.8
- 0.7 →
0.7
- 85/100 = 85 ÷ 100 =
0.85
Order from smallest to largest:
→
0.3, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.85
Which correspond to:
→
0.3, 3/5, 0.7, 4/5, 85/100
✔ Answer for Set 2:
0.3 3/5 0.7 4/5 85/100
---
🔢 SET 3:
Numbers:
3/4, 3/8, 0.77, 0.61, 8/12
✔ Convert all to decimals:
- 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 =
0.75
- 3/8 = 3 ÷ 8 =
0.375
- 0.77 →
0.77
- 0.61 →
0.61
- 8/12 = 8 ÷ 12 =
0.666... (≈ 0.667)
Order from smallest to largest:
→
0.375, 0.61, 0.667, 0.75, 0.77
Which correspond to:
→
3/8, 0.61, 8/12, 3/4, 0.77
✔ Answer for Set 3:
3/8 0.61 8/12 3/4 0.77
*(Note: 8/12 can be simplified to 2/3, but since the original problem uses 8/12, we keep it as is.)*

🔢 SET 4:
Numbers:
7/5, 11/8, 1.12, 1.02, 13/10
✔ Convert all to decimals:
- 7/5 = 7 ÷ 5 =
1.4
- 11/8 = 11 ÷ 8 =
1.375
- 1.12 →
1.12
- 1.02 →
1.02
- 13/10 = 13 ÷ 10 =
1.3
Order from smallest to largest:
→
1.02, 1.12, 1.3, 1.375, 1.4
Which correspond to:
→
1.02, 1.12, 13/10, 11/8, 7/5
✔ Answer for Set 4:
1.02 1.12 13/10 11/8 7/5

##
✔ FINAL ANSWERS:
Set 1:
1/10 11/100 0.2 0.25 3/10
Set 2:
0.3 3/5 0.7 4/5 85/100
Set 3:
3/8 0.61 8/12 3/4 0.77
Set 4:
1.02 1.12 13/10 11/8 7/5

💡
Tip: Always convert fractions to decimals by dividing numerator by denominator. Then compare the decimal values — it’s much easier than trying to find common denominators for mixed sets!
Let me know if you’d like to see these on a number line or need help with simplifying fractions too!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of comparing and ordering fractions and decimals worksheet.
