Question

Which is greater $0.7$ or $0.07$?

Answer 1

Comparing the given decimals

Step 1: Converting the given decimals into like decimals

$0.7\to 0.70$

$0.07\to 0.07$

Step 2: Placing the numbers in the place value chart

$1$	$.$	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{100}$
Ones	Decimal point	Tenths	Hundredths
$0$	$.$	$7$	$0$

$1$	$.$	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{100}$
Ones	Decimal point	Tenths	Hundredths
$0$	$.$	$0$	$7$

Step 3 : Comparing the digits at corresponding place values

Digits at ones place are same, so comparing digits at tenths place

$7>0$

Therefore, $0.70>0.07$

Thus, $0.7>0.07$.
