Question

which is the most 1.438 or 1.44 pounds

Answer 1

1.44 because 1.438 has a three and 8 at the end meaning that it is almost 44 but it is still 43 so 1.44 would be greatest.

Answer 2

1.44 because if you align like this:

1.438
1.44

you can put a zero, and 440 is more than 438, so

1.440
1.438

1.44 is greater than 1.438

1.438<1.44
