Question

which of the following decimal has highest value is a 0.5 b 0.12 c 0.17 d 0.8​

Answer 1

Answer:

d 80 cents or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Change them all to money. Then look at it again.

0.5 = 50 cents

0.12 = 12 cents

0.17 = 17 cents

0.8 = 80 cents.

You get each of them by starting with a dollar. A dollar has 100 cents.

So 0.5 of a dollar is 1/2 a dollar.

1/2 a dollar is 0.5 * 100 = 50 cents

0.17 * 100 = 17 cents

0.12 * 100 = 12 cents

0.8 * 100 = 80 cents

The largest one is 8

Answer 2

Answer d) 0.8

Step-by-step explanation: Here is a tip, when you see a decimal like 0.5 compared to a bigger looking one like 0.12 add a 0 to the end. It will still have the same value and you won't be as confused.

0.80> 0.50> 0.17> 0.12
