To compare the fraction 9/25 and the decimal 0.35, we can analyze the numerical values.
First, let's convert 9/25 to a decimal. To do this, divide 9 by 25:
9 ÷ 25 = 0.36
Now we have both values as decimals:
0.36 _____ 0.35
To determine the relationship between them, we can compare them using the appropriate symbol:
Since 0.36 is greater than 0.35, the appropriate symbol to use is ">".
Therefore, the correct answer is:
9/25 > 0.35 (The fraction 9/25 is greater than the decimal 0.35)
To determine the appropriate symbol to complete the statement, you need to compare the given fractions and decimal.
First, let's compare the fraction 9/25 with the decimal 0.35. To make a meaningful comparison, we need to represent both numbers in the same format.
To convert 9/25 to decimal, you can divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (25) using a calculator or long division:
9 ÷ 25 = 0.36
Now we have two decimal numbers to compare: 0.35 and 0.36.
To determine which symbol to use, we compare the two decimals:
- If the first decimal is greater than the second decimal, we use the symbol '>'.
- If the first decimal is less than the second decimal, we use the symbol '<'.
- If the two decimals are equal, we use the symbol '='.
Comparing 0.35 and 0.36, we can see that 0.35 is less than 0.36. Therefore, the appropriate symbol to complete the statement is '<'. Thus, the complete statement is:
9/25 < 0.35
