Question

Which of the following are like decimals a) $5.70$ b) $15.07$ c) $9.96$ d) $0.18$

Answer 1

Determine the like decimals.

Decimals with the same number of decimal places are referred to as like decimals.

The digit $5.70=5.7$ contains one decimal place and the digits $15.07,9.96,\mathrm{and}0.18$ contains $2$ decimal places.

Since $15.07,9.96,\mathrm{and}0.18$ contains the decimals with an equal number of decimal places. Therefore, $15.07,9.96,\mathrm{and}0.18$ are like decimals.

Hence, $\left(\mathrm{b}\right)15.07,\left(c\right)9.96,\mathrm{and}\left(\mathrm{d}\right)0.18$ are like decimals.
