• A. $0.182$
• B. $0.0928$
• C. $0.29$
• D. $0.038$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$0.29$

Explanation for correct option:

Option $C$: $0.29$

First we will make all the decimals into like decimals,

So, $0.182=0.1820$

$0.0928=0.0928$

$0.29=0.2900$

$0.038=0.0380$

Here, we will compare the place values,

So, the tenths place of $0.1820$ is $1$, $0.0928$ is $0$, $0.2900$ is $2$, $0.0380$ is $0$.

Hence, $2$ is greater.

Therefore, $0.0380<0.0925<0.1820<0.2900$.

Thus, $0.29$ is the greatest.

Hence, the correct option is option $C$.
