Question

Marta wrote six and eighty hundredths. Nicky wrote six and eight tenths. Who wrote the greater number? explain

Answer 1

The numbers are both equal because, 6.80 is six and eight hundredths, and 6.8 is six and eight tenths. When writing decimals any zero added to the end of the number has no value, 8/10 as a fraction is equal to 80/100 if simplified, so Nicky and Marta wrote equal numbers. :)
