Question

Layla used 0.482 gram of salt in her experiment. Maurice use 0.51 gram of salt. Who used the greater amount of salt?

Answer 1

0.51>0.482
The number (5) in the tenth column (the number on the right of the decimal)
is greater than the other number in the tenth column (4)

0.51 is greater than 0.482

Hope this helps! A thanks/brainiest answer would be appreciated :)

Answer 2

Answer:  Maurice used greater amount of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of salt in her experiment that Layla used = 0.482 grams

Quantity of salt in her experiment that Maurice used = 0.51 grams

As we know that

$0.51=\dfrac{51}{100}\\\\and\\\\0.482=\dfrac{482}{1000}$

So, for comparison we will write 0.51 as $\dfrac{510}{1000}$

Now, we can compare easily:

$\dfrac{510}{1000}>\dfrac{482}{1000}\\\\=0.51>0.482$

Hence, Maurice used greater amount of salt.
