Question

If you want to compare two numbers and see which is greater, is it easier to use a decimal or a fraction? Group of answer choices fraction decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

Decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

When using decimals the bigger number is greater.

Example) .3 > .2

If there are more 0's in front of the number in a decimal it is smaller.

Example) .003 > .0003

The reason why it is harder to visualize that a fraction is greater is because there are two numbers to look at. You basically have to take an extra step and divide.
