Question

Which is grater .856 or .8561

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it would be .856

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 is greater than 0.05. There are many ways to deduce this:

The more the # of zeroes after the decimal point the smaller the number is. Suppose there are x number of extra zeroes after the decimal point in number a than number b. Then, b is 10^x times larger than a.

Multiply both numbers by 100. we can see 0.5*100 (=50) > 0.05*100 (=5)

Fractionalize both numbers, we get 0.5=(5/10) but 0.05=(5/100). This makes 0.05<0.5
