Question

Fill in the blanks with appropriate symbol.
$0.73$ ___ $0.37$

• A. <
• B. >
• C. =
• D. $\le$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

>

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Decimal}& \text{Ones}& \text{Tenths}& \text{Hundredths}\\ 0.73& 0& 7& 3\\ 0.37& 0& 3& 7\end{array}$

So, we compare the digits at the tenths place.

Greater the number of tenths, greater is the number.

Since $7>3,$ we must have $0.73>\mathrm{0.37.}$
