(d) 0.5 or 0.05
(e) 1.23 or 1.2
(f) 0.099 or 0.19
(g) 1.5 or 1.50
(h) 1.431 or 1.490
(i) 3.3 or 3.300
(j) 5.64 or 5.603
Ans:
(a) 0.3 or 0.4
0.4 > 0.3
(b) 0.07 or 0.02
0.07 > 0.02
(c) 3 or 0.8
3 > 0.8
(d) 0.5 or 0.05
0.5 > 0.05
(e) 1.23 or 1.20
1.23 > 1.20
(f) 0.099 or 0.19
0.099 < 0.19
(g) 1.5 or 1.50
1.50 = 1.50
(h) 1.431 or 1.490
1.431 < 1.490
(i) 3.3 or 3.300
3.3 = 3.300
(j) 5.64 or 5.603
5.64 > 5.603
Q.2. Make five more examples and find the greater number from them.
Ans:
(a) 32.55 or 32.5
In this case, whole parts for both the numbers are same. The tenth part are also equal, but the hundredth part of 32.55 is greater than that of 32.5
Therefore, 32.55 > 32.5
(b) 1.82 or 1.84
In this case, whole parts for both the numbers are same. The tenth part are also equal, but the hundredth part of 1.84 is greater than that of 1.82
Therefore, 1.84 > 1.82
(c) 6.05 or 6.50
In this case, the two numbers have same parts but the tenth part of 6.50 is greater than that of 6.05
Therefore, 6.50 > 6.05
(d) 2.0 or 0.9
The whole part of 2.0 is greater than that of 0.9
Therefore, 2.0 > 0.9
(e) 1.08 or 1.089
In this case, the two numbers have same parts upto hundredth. But the thousandths part of 1.089 is greater than that of 1.08.
Therefore,1.089 > 1.08
