Question

Which value is greater among $0.7$and $0.09?$

Answer 1

Step 1:Comparing decimals:

Given decimals are $0.7$and $0.09$.

First we need to compare digits before decimal point ,both decimals are having $0$.

Step 2:By concept of like fractions:

As we know by the concept of like fractions when the denominator is the same, we can directly compare numbers.

Thus given decimal numbers can be represented as,

$0.7=\frac{7}{10}=\frac{7\times 10}{10\times 10}=\frac{70}{100}$

$0.09=\frac{9}{100}$

By comparing both the fractions we get $\frac{70}{100}>\frac{9}{100}$

Hence $0.7$ is greater than $0.009$.
