Answer»

Before comparing, we write both terms in like decimals:

(a) 0.3 < 0.4 (b) 0.07 > 0.02

(d) 0.50 or 0.05 ⇒ 0.50 > 0.05

(e) 1.23 or 1.20 ⇒ 1.23 > 1.20

(f) 0.099 or 0.190 ⇒ 0.099 < 0.190

(g) 1.50 or 1.50 ⇒ 1.50 = 1.50

(h) 1.431 < 1.490

(i) 3.300 or 3.300 ⇒ 3.300 = 3.300

(j) 5.640 or 5.603 ⇒ 5.640 > 5.603
