Which statement compares the two numbers correctly?

Answer 1

Hey there! We are given two decimal numbers to compare.

52.311 and 52.31

These two numbers are similar except that 52.311 has another 1 in while 51.31 doesn't.

Keep in mind that 52.31 can also refer to 52.310

So we are comparing 52.311 and 52.310

Since 1 is greater than 0.

52.311 is greater than 52.31 (52.311 > 52.31)
