Compare Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

It may be easier to compare fractions, decimals, and percents when they are all written as decimals.

Examples

Fill in each with <, >, or = to make a true statement.

3. \(\frac{3}{4}\)  \(0.7\)

Since 0.75 is to the right of 0.7 on the number line, \(\frac{3}{4}<0.7\).

 

4. Lucita made 85% of her free throws. Henri made \(\frac{7}{8}\) of his free throws. Who has the better average? Explain.

Since 0.850 < 0.875, Henri has the better average. 

 

 Since 0.85 is to the left of 0.875, the answer is correct.
