Question 13

Which comparison is true?

  1. 0.7 < 0.65
  2. 0.7 > 0.65Correct answer
  3. 0.7 = 0.65
  4. 0.099 > 0.65

Explanation

Writing 0.7 as 0.70 makes the comparison 0.70 > 0.65, because 7 tenths exceeds 6 tenths. Counting digits would wrongly favor 0.65 merely because it has two decimal digits. The comparison 0.099 > 0.65 is false for the same reason: 0 tenths cannot beat 6 tenths, however many digits follow.
