Question

Fill the following boxes with $<\text{or}>$ sign

$1.27\times 100\left(\right)12.7\times 1000$

Answer 1

Given :

LHS $=1.27\times 100$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{127}{100}\times 100 \\ =127 \end{gathered}$$

RHS $=12.7\times 1000$

$$\begin{gathered} =12.7\times 1000 \\ =\frac{127}{10}\times 1000 \\ =127\times 100 \\ =12700 \end{gathered}$$

So, LHS $<$ RHS

Hence, $1.27\times 100<12.7\times 1000$
