Worked Example
Convert 45/100 into decimal form and compare it with 0.5:
1
Convert fraction to decimal
45/100 = 0.45
4 tenths and 5 hundredths.
2
Write 0.5 with equivalent hundredths
0.5 = 0.50 = 50/100
Appended zero preserves value in the hundredths place.
3
Compare the two decimals
0.45 < 0.50
45 hundredths is less than 50 hundredths.
✓Verification Check
Subtract: 0.50 - 0.45 = 0.05 (positive difference confirms 0.5 > 0.45).
0.50 - 0.45 = 0.05
•
0.05 > 0 (Verified)
⚠️ Common Pitfalls & Misconceptions
Thinking longer decimal strings are automatically larger
✗ Thinking 0.08 > 0.4 because 8 > 4✓ Compare column by column: 0.4 has 4 tenths; 0.08 has 0 tenths (0.4 > 0.08)
Place value column significance precedes the digit count.
