Answer:
0.29 < 0.3
0.40 > 0.04
0.73 = 0.7300
Explanation:
All we have to to do is look at the digits.
For the first problem, both numbers don't have any digits in the ones place. In the tenths place, however, there is a 2 in the first number and a 3 in the second. We can instantly know which one is greater because 3 is larger than 2.
Problem two can also be solved the way problem one was. There is no digits in the ones place, but in the tenths place, there is a 4 in the first number and a 0 in the second. We now know that 0.40 is larger than 0.04.
Problem three is solved the same way. none in the ones place, a 7 in the tenths place on one number and a 7 in the other. Because the numbers are equal so far, we look at the hundredths place, there is a 3 in both numbers. In the next place is 0s, which mean that they are equal.
