It's not a priority for me though it's not an unreasonable thing to do. A basic 5th grade exercise is ordering fractions, sometimes with their decimal equivalents: Fraction(1,3) < Decimal('0.4') < Fraction(1,2). I don't care if that gets done. If you do decide to do fractions too, the responsibility should be with the fractions class (since decimals convert to fractions exactly but not vice-versa).
