Find the unknown digit to make the sentence true
2.48>2.4__ 1>2.463
5.723<5.72__ <5.725
7.64<7.___ 5<7.68
Honestly, post what you think it is. Place value is a fifth grade skill, and I am fairly certain you understand it.
I will check your work.
To find the unknown digit in each sentence to make it true, we need to identify the missing digit that would maintain the given inequality.
For the first sentence, 2.48 > 2.4__. We need to find the digit that, when added to 2.4, would result in a number smaller than 2.48. We can start by comparing the digits after the decimal point. Since 2.4 is less than 2.48, any digit greater than 4 would make the inequality true. Therefore, the missing digit can be any number from 5 to 9. For example, 2.47, 2.48, 2.49 would all satisfy the inequality.
For the second sentence, 5.723 < 5.72__ < 5.725. We need to find the digit that would make the number between 5.723 and 5.725. To identify the missing digit, we can compare the digits after the second decimal place. In this case, the number after the second decimal place is 3 in 5.723. Since we want the number to be between 5.723 and 5.725, the missing digit would be 4. Therefore, a number that satisfies the inequality is 5.724.
For the third sentence, 7.64 < 7.___ < 5 < 7.68. We need to find the digit that makes the number between 7.64 and 7.68. To determine the missing digit, we can compare the digits after the second decimal place. In this case, the number after the second decimal place is 6 in 7.64. Since we want the number to be greater than 7.64 and less than 7.68, any digit between 5 and 7 can be the missing digit. For example, 7.645, 7.655, or 7.666 would satisfy the inequality.
In summary:
1. The missing digit can be any number from 5 to 9.
2. The missing digit is 4.
3. The missing digit can be any number between 5 and 7.
