This answer is irrelevant because you did not explain yourself, the correct answer is,"Its important so you can separate whole numbers for parts of whole numbers."

What do you need to line up decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
You do not, but it is easier.
Why can it help to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
Lining the numbers up makes it easier to spot 0s between the decimal point and the leading non-zero digit.
What is comparing and ordering rational numbers?
Rational numbers are roots, decimals, fractions, and whole numbers. Bascially anything that can become a decimal. Irrational numbers are like pi. I'm pretty sure to be irrational, they have to repeat. Anyway, ordering them and comparing them means looking at them and seeing which is smallest and largest. Then you order them (smallest to largest or whatever it says).
How comparing and ordering fractions?
Convert them all to their decimal equivalents (by dividing each numerator by its denominator), then you can easily see which numbers are greater than others.
Why is ordering decimal numbers to two places like ordering numbers to 100?

What is the definition of comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals?
place value :)
How are comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals similar?
They are similar because when you compare decimals you say the larger one has more value so the decimal is larger like in comparing whole numbers the number that has more value is larger. So they are very similar.

What is comparing and ordering numbers?
The comparing and ordering of numbers is referred to as factorization. Numbers are factored into certain multiples such that the resolution of the entity into the factors when multiplied together will give the original entity.
Why is annexing zeros used in ordering decimals?
Annexing zeros is included in ordering decimals to even the numbers out so you can line the decimals up. I'm pretty sure that is the right answer...

What are the similarities and differences between comparing whole numbers and comparing decimals?
it separating the whole numbers from the fraction parts.
How are decimals and whole numbers similar?
All whole numbers are decimal numbers.
Which fraction is bigger 11.15 or 13.20?
For comparing numbers with decimals, first compare the integer part - in this case, 11 and 13. If these are different, there is no need to compare the decimal part.
