Question

Compare decimals and select two values that can replace the blanks to make the inequality true: 0 < 32.6.

Choose all that apply:
a) 20 + 6 + 0.3
b) 30.26

Answer 1

Both option a) 20 + 6 + 0.3, which equals 26.3, and option b) 30.26 are less than 32.6, so both satisfy the inequality 0 < 32.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare decimals and find two values that can replace the blanks to make the inequality 0 < 32.6 true, we need to evaluate the given options:

1. 20 + 6 + 0.3 = 26.3
2. 30.26

For option (a), when adding 20 + 6 + 0.3, we get 26.3, which is indeed less than 32.6, hence this choice is correct.
For option (b), the value 30.26 is also less than 32.6, so this choice is correct as well.
Therefore, both options a) 20 + 6 + 0.3 and b) 30.26 can replace the blanks in the inequality to make it true.
