No CommentsHow to Order Numeric Expressions
Description
A detailed tutorial on the ordering of numeric expressions. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to order numeric expressions for reference.
Overview
Ordering numeric expressions is something most of you should be familiar with. When you order numbers, or numeric expressions, you either order them from the lowest number to the highest number or from the highest number to the lowest number. It’s not difficult if you know how to count. But what if you’re faced with an array of decimals, percents, mixed numbers, and fractions? How do you know which number goes where? You need to convert them all to the same – decimals are the easiest when you are converting numbers so you can order them. Then after you order them, simply replace the ones you converted back to the values that were given.
