Question

Which is greater?
                    0.8 or 0.88

Answer 1

Hint-Firstly, express the given decimals in terms of fractions and solve it

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have to find out if 0.8 or 0.88 Is greater
0.8=$\dfrac{{80}}{{100}}$
0.88=$\dfrac{{88}}{{100}}$
As, we compare from this both the terms have the denominator that is 100
Now, we know a result which says , if the denominator of two terms are the same, then the one whose numerator is larger, will be the greatest term
So, in these two, we can compare and say that the numerator of 0.88 is greater than that of 0.8
So, from this we can say that 0.88 is greater than 0.8.

Note: These type of questions can be solved by comparing the decimal values or it can also be expressed in fractions and solved like how it is done in this problem
