Question

Is 4/5 or 0.87 bigger

Answer 1

Hello there!

4/5 is equivalent to 0.80

Now we're asking if 0.80 or 0.87 is bigger.

Both of these numbers have the same value for the ones and tenths place.

Since 0.87 has a higher value in the hundredths place, it is bigger.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

0.87 = 87/100
4/5 = 80/100

80/100 < 87/100 ⇒
4/5 < 0.87
