Question

Which decimal number is greater, 0.52 or 0.7?

• A. Cannot be determined
• B. 0.7
• C. 0.52
• D. Both the numbers are equal.

Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.7

Arranging the decimal numbers, we get:


We start comparing the digits from the highest place.

Both the numbers have 0 in the units place. Hence, we move to the tenths place.

The greater the digit in the tenths place, the greater is the number.

Since 7 is greater than 5, 0.70 is greater than 0.52.
