Question

how to compare decimals

Answer 1

Answer :

We compare decimal numbers , after converting them into fraction form with same denominator , As :

Compare : 0 .5 , 0 . 75 , 0. 125

So ,

Now we divide and multiply by 1000 , and get our decimal numbers , As :

0.5 $\times \frac{1000}{1000}$ = $\frac{500}{1000}$

And

0.75 $\times \frac{1000}{1000}$ = $\frac{750}{1000}$


And

0.125 $\times \frac{1000}{1000}$ = $\frac{125}{1000}$

Now we can easily say that

$\frac{750}{1000}$ > $\frac{500}{1000}$ > $\frac{125}{1000}$

So , we can write comparison in decimal , As :

0.75 > 0.5 > 0.125
