Question
Which statement correctly compares the values in the statement?
0.45 ___ 0.0045
A. 0.045 > 0.0045
B. -0.45 < 0.0045
C. 0.45 < 0.0045
D. 0.45 = 0.0045
Answer:
0.45 > 0.0045 and -0.45 < 0.0045
Explanation:
The statement above are correct because 0.45 is 100 times larger than 0.0045 and -0.45 is lesser than 0.0045
Checking other options, we realise that none of them are true.
To check;
A. 0.45 > 0.0045
This is true because 0.45 is greater than 0.0045
B. -0.45 < 0.0045
This is also true because negative numbers are less than positive numbers
C. 0.45 < 0.0045
This is not true as 0.45 is not less than 0.0045
D. 0.45 = 0.0045
This shows equality and it's not true because 0.45 is not equal to 0.0045.
