My learning from mathletics

This week was a math week so i learned few of things(?) that i didn't know.
Firstly i learned ¨No Common Denominator¨. Basically it is like ex)1/4 - 1/7 .
For No Common Denominator, you times your denominators so it will be 28. so you need 7 for 1/4 so it will be 7/28 next, same as we did, it will be 4/28. so it will actually looks like 7/28+4/28= so you use the same denominator which is 28 and plus 7 and 4 . so the answer will be 11/28

secondly, i knew but i wasn't really sure about "ordering decimals" but now i certainly know what it is and how you work it out. for example if there is 0.8 and 0.7, it is 0.8 because 0.8 is near 1 whole.
For more harder ones, like 0.768 ,0.3487 and 0.283 the answer is 0.768 and if you need to order, next will be 0.3487 and last will be 0.283.Now i will tell you how did i did that.i think the way that fits to me is rounding. so you round 0.768 to 0.7,0.3487 to 0.3 and 0.283 to 0.2.

lastly,i
