whats bigger 6.01 or 6.1?

Question

please help

Answer 1

Student,

 

If someone offered you a gift of $6.01 or $6.10, which one would you pick?

Answer 2

Behind the decimal point the place values are larger

to the left.

 

0.1 = 1/10

0.01 = 1/100

0.001 = 1/1000

 

0.3 = 3/10

0.03 = 3/100

0.3 > 0.03

 

0.73 = 73/100

0.073 = 73/1000

0.73 > 0.073

 

and so forth

 

6.01 = 6 1/100

6.1 = 6 1/10

 

6 1/10 is bigger than 6 1/100
