Question

Compare $0.5,0.005\text{and}0.05$.

• A. $0.5>0.05>0.005$
• B. $0.005>0.05>0.5$
• C. All are equal.

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.5>0.05>0.005$

0.005 is obtained by dividing 0.05 by 10.

$\Rightarrow 0.005=\frac{0.05}{10}$

$\therefore 0.005<0.05$


Further, 0.05 is obtained by dividing 0.5 by 10.

$\Rightarrow 0.005=\frac{0.05}{10}$

$\therefore 0.05<0.5$

Hence, $0.005<0.05<0.5$

$\Rightarrow 0.5>0.05>0.005$
