Question

Write 'T' for true and 'F' for false for each of the statements given below:
(i) 3.02 < 3.2.
(ii) 3 g = 0.003 kg.
(iii)
(iv) 6.2 and 6.200 are equivalent decimals.
(v) 2.3, 3.41, 4.53, 5.61 are examples of like decimals.

Answer 1

(i) True
This is because after converting them into like decimals, we get 3.20 > 3.02, which is true.

(ii) True
1 g = $\frac{1}{1000}$ kg
$\therefore$ 3 g = $\frac{3}{1000}$ = 0.003 kg

(iii) False
$\frac{341}{1000}$ = 0.341
This is because it is equal to 341 thousandths.

(iv) True

(v) False
In this case, every decimal should have 2 decimals in order to be like decimals. But, 2.3 has only 1 decimal.
