the decimal points and compare
digits from left to right until you
find the place where the digits
are different.

A rational number is a number


that can be written as a fraction
with integers for its numerator and
denominator. When rational
numbers are written in a variety of
forms, you can compare the
numbers by writing them all in the
same form.
