Question

One carton contains 17/20 liter of juice. Another carton contains 0.87 liter of juice. which carton contains the most?

Answer 1

The second one.

Explanation:

`17/20 < 0.87`.

An easier way to compare them is by converting the fraction to a decimal.

Multiply 5 on the numerator and the denominator so it would be over a hundred.

`17/20• 5/5 = 85/100`

`85/100` as a decimal would be `0.85` since 100 has two zeros and you will have to move two sides to the left.

So,
`0.85<0.87`
