Question

Which is greater? 0.8 or 0.88

Advertisements

Solution

0.8 or 0.88

Converting these decimal numbers into equivalent fractions,

`0.8 = 8/10 = (8xx10)/(10xx10) = 80/100` and `0.88  = 88/100`

It can be observed that both fractions have the same denominator.

As 80 < 88,

Therefore, 0.8 < 0.88
