My kido is requested to order the following four values from smallest to biggest:
5 3/4
5 2/5
5.45
5 1/2
As you can see, one of the values is a decimal (5.45). When I try to convert it to a fraction (it's easier to compare only fractions or only decimals), I get 5 9/20, which can't be comparable with the other values. I have the answer but I don't know the right way to approach this problem. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Best, Anwar
