Answer:
See the image below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The decimals 0.43 and 0.39 are equivalent to 43/100 and 39/100. These decimals lie between 0 and 1.
Draw a number line, mark off and label the multiples of 0.10(e.g 0.10, 0.20) in the interval 0-1.
Mark 0.43 between 0.4 and 0.5, a little closer to 0.4.
Mark 0.39 between 0.3 and 0.4, just behind 0.4.
Since 0.39 is smaller than 0.43( 0.39 lies on the left to 0.43), the inequality is:
0.39<0.43
