A rational number is any whole number, fraction, mixed number or decimal, including their negative counterparts. An example of a rational number is 8.5. It is rational because it can be turned into a simple fraction of 8 1⁄2.

8 1⁄2 = 8.5

This quiz will test how well you know the value of your decimal rational numbers. For each set of decimal rational numbers below determine if the first rational decimal is greater than (>), less than (<), equal to (=) or cannot be determined (?).
1 .
5/8 __ 15/24
>
<
=
?
5/8 cannot be simplified so it remains the same. 15/24 can be simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 3. So 15 ÷ 3 = 5 and 24 ÷ 3 = 8 giving you 5/8. Answer (c) 5/8 = 15/24 is correct
2 .
10.05 ___ 10.07
>
<
=
?
10.05 = 10 5⁄100 and 10.07 = 10 7⁄100. 10 5⁄100 is less than 10 7⁄100 so Answer (b) 10.05 < 10.07 is the correct answer
3 .
16 3⁄4 __ 16.75
>
<
=
?
16.75 can be rewritten as 16 75⁄100. 75⁄100 can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 25. So 75 ÷ 25 = 3 and 100 ÷ 25 = 4 giving you 3/4 or 16 3⁄4 Answer (c) 16 3⁄4 = 16.75 is correct
4 .
.8 ___ .2
>
<
=
?
.8 = 8/10 and .2 = 2/10. 8/10 is greater than 2/10 so Answer (a) .8 > .2 is the correct answer
5 .
42.007 __
>
<
=
?
42.007 can be rewritten as 42 7⁄1000; however, we do not have a second number to compare it to so we cannot make a determination of the value of this rational decimal number. Answer (d) is the correct answer
6 .
.67 ___ .629
>
<
=
?
.67 = 67⁄100 and .629 = 629⁄1000. 67⁄100 is greater than 629⁄1000 so Answer (a) .67 > .629 is the correct answer
7 .
174.011 ___ 174.1
>
<
=
?
174.011 = 174 11⁄1000 and 174.1 = 174 1⁄10. 174 11⁄1000 is less than 174 1⁄10 so Answer (b) 174.011 < 174.1 is the correct answer
8 .
106.1 ___ 106 10⁄100
>
<
=
?
106.1 can be rewritten as 106 1⁄10. 106 10⁄100 can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator or 10/100 by 10. So 10 ÷ 10 = 1 and 100 ÷ 10 = 10 giving you 1/10 or 106 1⁄10. Answer (c) 106.1 = 106 10⁄100 is correct
9 .
112.009 ___ 115.009
>
<
=
?
112.009 = 112 9⁄1000 and 115.009 = 115 9⁄1000. 112 9⁄1000 is less than 115 9⁄1000 so Answer (b) 112.009 < 115.009 is the correct answer
10 .
2.34 ___ 2.44
>
<
=
?
2.34 = 2 34⁄100 and 2.44 = 2 44⁄100. 2 34⁄100 is less than 2 44⁄100 so Answer (b) 2.34 < 2.44 is the correct answer
