Question

Which among the following numbers is the greatest ?
$0.07+\sqrt{0.16},\sqrt{1.44},1.2\times 0.83,1.02-\frac{0.6}{24}$

Answer 1

$0.07+\sqrt{0.16},\sqrt{1.44},1.2\times 0.83,1.02-\frac{0.6}{24}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\sqrt{{\left(0.4\right)}^2},\sqrt{{\left(1.2\right)}^2},0.996,1.02-\frac{0.1}{4}\Rightarrow 0.07+0.4,1.2,0.996,1.02-0.025$

$\Rightarrow$ $0.47,1.2,0.996,0.995$

$\therefore$ $\sqrt{1.44}$ is greatest
