Question

Which value is greater among $18.47$and $18.047?$

Answer 1

Step 1: Comparing decimals:

Given decimals are $18.875$ and $18.986$.

First we need to compare digits before decimal point ,both decimals are having $18$ as whole number.

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,

$18.875=\frac{18875}{1000}$

$18.986=\frac{18986}{1000}$

By comparing both the fractions we get $\frac{18986}{1000}>\frac{18875}{1000}$

Hence, $18.986$ is greater than $18.875$.
