Question

Fill in the blanks by using $>$ or $<$ to complete the following sentence

$40.695...............40.93$

Answer 1

Break the given numbers into whole number parts and decimal parts

$40.695=40+0.6+0.09+0.005$

$40.93=40+0.9+0.03$

Here both numbers have the same whole number parts

So we will compare the first digit after the decimal

As $0.9>0.6$

Hence $40.93>40.695$ or $40.695<40.93$
