• C. 1.00 > 1.01
• D. 1.00 < 1.01

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

1.00 > 1.01

Let's arrange the given numbers 34.43 and 34.34 in place value table. Tens Ones . tenths hundredths 3 3

4	.	4	3
4	.	3	4

The digits in the ones and tens place are the same (34.43 and 34.34). Hence, comparing the digits in the tenths place, 4 tenths > 3 tenths
$\therefore$ 34.43 is greater than 34.34

Let's arrange the given numbers 1.00 and 1.01 in place value table.

O	.	t	h
1	.	0	0
1	.	0	1

The digits in the ones and tenths place are the same (1.00 and 1.01). Hence, comparing the digits in the hundredths place, 1 hundredths > 0 hundredths
$\therefore$ 1.01 is greater than 1.00
