which is greater 8.0 or 0.8 explain

Sagot :

So,

Convert each of the decimals into fraction form, for example.
[tex]8.0 --> \frac{8}{1} \ or\ \frac{80}{10} [/tex]
[tex]0.8 --> \frac{8}{10} [/tex]

Obviously, then, 80 is greater than 8, so 8.0 is greater.
8.0 > 0.8


8.0 is a whole number = 8

0.8 is a fraction = 8/10

The fraction 8/10 is only part of a whole number.

Therefore  8.0 > 0.8

Hope this helps, :)
