Before doing the homework that was handed out on Monday, I would have said I prefer fractions over decimals, but after the homework, I realized that decimals are a lot easier to work with.

The first reason being, is that when I am asked to compare a fraction and a decimal, the easiest thing to do would be to divide the fraction’s numerator by the denominator and get a decimal, then I would be able to compare. Doing it the other way around could be a lot harder, and when you have two different denominators it could be a lot harder to find a common denominator and a lot harder to compare.
