Comparing numbers and ordering numbers printable math worksheets ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to compare each pair of decimals. We’ll look at the numbers digit by digit, starting from the left (the ones place), then tenths, then hundredths — just like reading a number normally.

We use:
- “>” if the first number is bigger
- “<” if the first number is smaller
- “=” if they are equal

Row 1:
- 3.21 vs 5.12 → 3 < 5 → 3.21 < 5.12
- 0.05 vs 0.2 → Both have 0 in ones place. Tenths: 0 vs 2 → 0 < 2 → 0.05 < 0.2

Row 2:
- 1.3 vs 1.50 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 3 vs 5 → 3 < 5 → 1.3 < 1.50
- 3.81 vs 3.19 → Ones: both 3. Tenths: 8 vs 1 → 8 > 1 → 3.81 > 3.19

Row 3:
- 1.3 vs 1.06 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 3 vs 0 → 3 > 0 → 1.3 > 1.06
- 1.04 vs 1.4 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 0 vs 4 → 0 < 4 → 1.04 < 1.4
- 0.88 vs 0.9 → Ones: both 0. Tenths: 8 vs 9 → 8 < 9 → 0.88 < 0.9

Row 4:
- 0.29 vs 0.3 → Ones: both 0. Tenths: 2 vs 3 → 2 < 3 → 0.29 < 0.3
- 1.75 vs 1.57 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 7 vs 5 → 7 > 5 → 1.75 > 1.57
- 3.3 vs 3.55 → Ones: both 3. Tenths: 3 vs 5 → 3 < 5 → 3.3 < 3.55

Row 5:
- 2.38 vs 2.3 → Ones: both 2. Tenths: both 3. Hundredths: 8 vs 0 → 8 > 0 → 2.38 > 2.3
- 7.35 vs 7.3 → Ones: both 7. Tenths: both 3. Hundredths: 5 vs 0 → 5 > 0 → 7.35 > 7.3
- 1.80 vs 1.8 → Same value! 1.80 = 1.8 → 1.80 = 1.8

Row 6:
- 1.2 vs 1.19 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 2 vs 1 → 2 > 1 → 1.2 > 1.19
- 3.2 vs 3.21 → Ones: both 3. Tenths: both 2. Hundredths: 0 vs 1 → 0 < 1 → 3.2 < 3.21
- 1.78 vs 1.67 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 7 vs 6 → 7 > 6 → 1.78 > 1.67

Row 7:
- 1.05 vs 1.50 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 0 vs 5 → 0 < 5 → 1.05 < 1.50
- 1.10 vs 1.07 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 1 vs 0 → 1 > 0 → 1.10 > 1.07
- 3.6 vs 4.58 → Ones: 3 vs 4 → 3 < 4 → 3.6 < 4.58

Row 8:
- 5.05 vs 7.06 → Ones: 5 vs 7 → 5 < 7 → 5.05 < 7.06
- 1.9 vs 1.90 → Same value! 1.9 = 1.90 → 1.9 = 1.90
- 1.34 vs 1.43 → Ones: both 1. Tenths: 3 vs 4 → 3 < 4 → 1.34 < 1.43
