Question

Which is larger number, 5/6 or 0.63
Show in number line

Answer 1

To plot the 5/6 on number line divide line between 0 and 1 into 6 times then the 5 the part will be 5/6


<------------------!---------!--------------->
0 0.63. 5/6 1
Now, look carefully at the number line above, and see where your numbers, 0.63 and 5/6 have been drawn. There are two ways of comparing these numbers using the number line:

1. First way: notice that 0.63 is to the left of 5/6. This means that 0.63 is smaller than 5/6 (because smaller numbers are always to the left).
2. Second way: notice that 5/6 is to the right of 0.63. This means that 5/6 is larger than 0.63 (because larger numbers are always to the right).

So, there are two ways to answer your question about how these number compare:

1. 0.63 is smaller than 5/6.

   or

2. 5/6 is larger than 0.63.

Both answers are correct.
