Perhaps the question will be less confusing if you temporarily ignore the decimal parts, and just compare the whole-number parts.
Look at 74 , and then look at 7 .
Look at them again, and a few more times if necessary.
You'll see that 74 is waaay bigger than 7 .
That's true even when you stick the decimal parts back on.
The decimal parts can't change it ... a decimal part can't
add more than ' 1 ' to a whole number.
So 74 (plus any decimal) is still waaay bigger than 7 (plus any decimal).
