Question

From the pair of decimal numbers, state which number is smaller: $37.701,37.71.$

Answer 1

We note that, the whole number parts of given numbers are equal
Let us now compare their tenth digits
In both numbers digit at tenth place equal to $7$
So we compare hundredth digit
In $37.701$ digit at hundred place equal to $0$
And in $37.71$ digit at hundredth place equal to $1$
Since $1$ is greater than $0$ so $37.71$ is greater than $37.701$.
