Multiple choice maths decimal numbers comparing and ordering of decimals more or less comparing decimals

Which of the following expressions is CORRECT?

  1. $0.6 < 0.06$
  2. $0.66=\displaystyle\frac{5}{9}$
  3. $455 > \displaystyle\frac{11}{25}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{6} > 0.17$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

(A) $0.6 > 0.06$

As we can see, LHS and RHS are same i.e. $0.6$. So, $=$ sign must be there in between. So, this statement is false.
(B) $0.66=\displaystyle\frac{66}{100}=\frac{33}{50}\neq \frac{5}{9}$
This statement is also false.
(C) $\displaystyle 455 >\frac{11}{25}=0.44$
This ststement is true.
(D) $\displaystyle\frac{1}{6}=0.166 < 0.17$
This statemnt is also false.
So, correct answer is option C.

Select the correct option which make the given expression true.
$12.5+5\displaystyle\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5}+\square 2.9+15-6.88+11.08$.

  1. $<$
  2. $>$
  3. $=$

  4. Can't be determined

B Correct answer
Explanation

We have, $\displaystyle 12.5+5\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5}$

$=12.5+\dfrac{43}{8}+\dfrac{65}{8}+\dfrac{49}{5}$
$=12.5+5.375+8.125+9.8=35.8$ 
Now lets check for $2.9+15-6.88+11.08=22.1$
Since, $35.8 > 22.1$
Therefore, $ 12.5+\displaystyle 5\frac{3}{8}+8\frac{1}{8}+9\frac{4}{5} > 2.9+15-6.88+11.08$.

Multiple choice maths decimal numbers comparing and ordering of decimals more or less comparing decimals

Which of the following numbers $0.1, 0.11,$ $\displaystyle \left ( 0.11 \right )^{2},\sqrt{0.0001}$ is the greatest ?

  1. $0.11$
  2. $0.1$
  3. $0.11^2$

  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation
Consider the given numbers and find their values as follows:

$0.10\\ 0.11\\ \left( 0.11 \right) ^{ 2 }=0.11\times 0.11=0.0121\\ \sqrt { 0.0001 } =\sqrt { \dfrac { 1 }{ 10000 }  } =\sqrt { \dfrac { 1^{ 2 } }{ 100^{ 2 } }  } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 100 } =0.010$

Now from the above values we conclude that:

$0.11<0.10<0.0121<0.010$

Hence, $0.11$ is the greatest number.

Find the greater number.
$256.356,256.869$

  1. $256.356$
  2. $256.869$

  3. Both are equal

  4. None
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Since the decimal $0.869$ is greater then another decimal number $0.356$ because of the fact that $869>356$.


Also since, the number before the decimals is same in the given numbers that is $256$, therefore, we conclude that $256.869>256.356$

Hence, the greater number is $256.869$.
