Having problems with less than/greater than decimals. Wanted to double check some answers.

a)0.5_1.0 My Answer is <
b)3.2_3.02 My answer >
c)4.83_4.8 My answer <
d)6.25_6.4 My answer <
e)0.7_0.07 My Answer >

The first two are correct.

c. 4.83 > 4.8 (Think of money. $4.83 is three cents more than $4.80.)

The last two are also correct.

Thank you. I never thought about looking at them like money.

You're welcome. :-)

To compare decimal numbers using the less than/greater than symbols, you need to compare the digits from left to right. Let's go through each problem to double-check your answers:

a) 0.5 < 1.0
Correct! When comparing decimals, start from the left and compare the first digit that is different. In this case, 0.5 is smaller than 1.0 because 5 is less than 1.

b) 3.2 > 3.02
Correct! Again, start from the left and compare the first digit that is different. In this case, 3.2 is larger than 3.02 because 2 is greater than 0.

c) 4.83 > 4.8
Incorrect. Let's compare the digits from left to right. The first two digits (4 and 4) are the same, so we move to the next digit. This time, 8 is greater than 0, so the correct answer should be ">" (greater than).

d) 6.25 < 6.4
Incorrect. Comparing from left to right, the first two digits (6 and 6) are the same. Then, the next digit is 2 in 6.25, and 4 in 6.4. Since 2 is less than 4, the correct answer is "<" (less than).

e) 0.7 > 0.07
Correct! Starting from the left, we compare the digits. Here, 0.7 is larger than 0.07 because 7 is greater than 0.

So, to sum up:

a) 0.5 < 1.0 (Correct)
b) 3.2 > 3.02 (Correct)
c) 4.83 > 4.8 (Incorrect)
d) 6.25 < 6.4 (Incorrect)
e) 0.7 > 0.07 (Correct)
