Question

What is greater 11/49 or 0.29

Answer 1

Let's see -

The way I like to do math like this is I divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and then move along - I'll show you what I mean

11 ÷ 49 = 0.22449, right? (This is just the rounded answer, but if you want to round it even MORE, it would be 0.22 as your final answer.)

So, now we can compare the two --

Which looks bigger? 0.22 OR 0.29?

° It wouldn't be 11/49, or, as we've just said, 0.22, because it isn't closer to 1, it is closer to zero.

° 0.29 is larger for the fact that it's closer to 1.
