(b) 0.07 > 0.02

(c) 3.0 or 0.8 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 3.0 > 0.8

(d) 0.50 or 0.05 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 0.50 > 0.05

(e) 1.23 or 1.20 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 1.23 > 1.20

(f) 0.099 or 0.190 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 0.099 < 0.190

(g) 1.50 or 1.50 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 1.50 = 1.50

(h) 1.431 < 1.490

(i) 3.300 or 3.300 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 3.300 = 3.300

(j) 5.640 or 5.603 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 5.640 > 5.603

Question 2. Make five more examples and find the greater:

(e) 04.213 or 0421.3

Answer: Before comparing, we write both the terms in like decimals

(i) 1.80 or 1.82 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 1.82 is greater than 1.8

(ii) 1.0009 or 1.0900 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 1.09 is greater than 1.0009

(iii) 10.01 or 100.10 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 100.1 is greater than 10.01

(iv) 5.1000 or 5.0100 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 5.100 is greater than 5.0100

(v) 04.213 or 0421.300 ⇒$\Rightarrow$ 0421.3 is greater than 04.213
