Question

How is ordering fractions on a number line similar to and

different from ordering whole numbers on a number line?
​

Answer 1

When ordering fractions, you don't only have to take in account for the numerator, you also have to take into account the denominator, whereas with whole numbers, you only have to take into account the numerator. Also, in a fraction, you have to make sure the denominators are the same before ordering them.
