Question

tanya says .53 is greater than .7 because 53 is greater than 7 Can you explain her mistake?

Answer 1

take 0.53 and 0.7 by 100 to make them percents. 0.53 times 100 is 53% and 0.7 time 100 is 70%. so 0.7>0.53

Answer 2

Yes because add the 0 onto the 7, so that makes .70. And so now .70 is greater than .53. Hope rhis helps!!
