Question

Carmen is playing draw & compare decimals with her partner. Carmen drew 4,7,6,0, and 2 and has to use three of the cards to make a decimal less then 1. If they are playing for "more" what decimal should Carmen make? If they are playing "less" what decimal should Carmen make?

Answer 1

For more;

4.76

for less;

0.46

Explanation:

Here, we intend getting the decimals that Carmen should make in her game given the numbers she drew

She has two types to make; a decimal less than 1 and a decimal more than 1

If the decimal should be less than 1, the number zero should lead;

And since she is using three of the numbers, we can have something like;

0.46

To make a decimal more than one, she could actually start with any of the numbers other than zero

we can have something like 4.76
