Comparing Decimal NumbersDecimals
Because decimal numbers may be viewed as coins stored in a
base-10 cash registers, therefore to determine which decimal
numbers is the largest is similar to finding which cash register
contains more money (in coins.)

Fact About Shifting the Decimal Points in a Fraction
Given a fraction, if the decimal points of the numerator and the
denominator are shifted in the same direction with the same
number of spaces, the resulting fraction is an equivalent
fraction, i.e. it’s the same.
