Question

What is 5 ones and 8 tenths greater than or less than 58 tenths

Answer 1

Here we have to figure out if 5 ones and 8 tenths is greater than or less than or equal to 58 tenths.

Now,

5 ones = 5

8 tenths $=\frac{8}{10} =0.8$

Together, 5 ones and 8 tenths make

$5+0.8=5.8$

Now,

58 tenths $=\frac{58}{10} =5.8$

We can see that 5 ones and 8 tenths and 58 tenths both are equivalent.

Therefore, 5 ones and 8 tenths is neither less nor greater than 58 tenths. They both are equal.
