Sarah was absent from school and missed the lesson on comparing and ordering Problem Solving
decimals and fractions.
Using what you have learnt, explain to Sarah how you would arrange the following

Answers vary. (b) How much would Salmah save if she bought 30 kg of prawns from the
supermarket with the better buy?
Example:
First, convert the fractions to decimals. (a) Supermarket A:

Next, compare the decimals.

0.8 is the smallest.
0.875 is the greatest.
The prawns from Supermarket B is a better buy.
0.857 is greater than 0.8 but smaller than 0.875.
(b) $10.95 − $10.62 = $0.33
Lastly, arrange in order, beginning with the smallest.
