Question

PLEASE HELP I KNOW ITS JIM IS CORRECT BUT I NEED AN EXUSE FOR THE WRONG ANSWER “I CHOSE LOU BECAUSE” PLEASE HURRY MY TEACHER ALREADY SUBMITTED IT AND I HAVE 0 OUT OF 8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 hundredth is ten larger that 8 thousands so Jim is correct and Lou is not right for the following reason:

8 hundredth means that the number is on the right side after the decimal

if we put it as a fraction:

8/100 and 8/1000

comparing:

take a common denominator(1000 for the two fractions)

8/100=80/1000

80/1000>8/1000

the nominator 80 is greater than 8

( this is one way to compare and prove)

Lou is wrong because on the number line 0.008 comes before 0.08

for example a number 2.08( 2 and 8 hundredth)

and 2.008 ( 2 and 8 thousandth)

ones   decimal       tenth         hundredth         thousandth  

 2            .                0                  8

 2            .                0                  0                         8

the more the number goes to the right of the decimal the smaller the fraction
