Question

Is .88 greater than .109?

Answer 1

Yes, `.88` is greater than `.109`

Explanation:

When, we compare two decimal numbers, who have different number of digits after decimal point, we first add additional digits to the right of the decimal number, which has lesser dgits after decimal pont.

Here `.88` has just two digits after decimal point, while `.109` has three digits after decimal point.

Making tem equal they become `.880` and `.109` and `.880` is greater than `.109` and hence

`.88` is greater than `.109`

Answer 2

Yes.

Explanation:

Fraction `->("count")/("size indicator") ->("numerator")/("denominator")`

Consider `0.880 -> 8/10+8/100+0/1000 = 880/1000`

Consider `0.109-> 1/10+0/100+9/1000=109/1000`

For `880/1000" and "109/1000"; "`as the size indicators (denominators) are both the same we only need to compare the counts (numerators).

`880" is greater than "109` so the answer is yes!
