Which decimal is greater or equal
Examples:
In all cases, the denominators should be made equal and then the numerators are compared.
Case 1a: 0.4 or 0.8
0.4 = 4/10 0.8 = 8/10
8 is greater than 4 so 0.8 is greater than 0.4
Case 1b: 0.40 or 0.8
0.40 = 40/100 0.8 = 8/10 = 80/100
80 is greater than 40 so 0.8 is greater than 0.40
Case 1c: 0.40 or 0.999
0.40 = 40/100 = 400/1000 0.999 = 999/1000
999 is greater than 400 so 0.999 is greater than 0.40
Case 1d: 1.5 or 1.50
1.5 =15/10 = 150/100 1.50 = 150/100
since the numerator is the same, 1.5 = 1.50
Case 1e:
3.3 or 3.300
3.3 = 33/10
= 33 * 10/10 * 10 = 330 /100
= 330*10 /100*10 = 3300/1000
3.300 = 3300/1000
so 3.3 = 3.300
