Question

Which of the following statements is true?

Question 7 options:



0.83 > 0.94




0.74 < 0.80




1.548 < 0.698




0.61 > 0.93

Answer 1

The true statement among the options given is 0.74 < 0.80, as 4 in the hundredths place is less than 0 in the hundredths place of 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true among the given options is 0.74 < 0.80. To compare decimal numbers, we can look at the tenths place first, and if they are the same, then we can compare the hundredths place, and so on, until we find which number is greater or determine if they are equal.

• For the first option, 0.83 > 0.94 is false because 0.83 is less than 0.94 when comparing the hundredths place.
• For the second option, 0.74 < 0.80 is true because when comparing the hundredths place, 4 is less than 0, making 0.74 less than 0.80.
• The third option, 1.548 < 0.698, is false because 1.548 is greater than 0.698 as the whole number part (1) is greater than 0.
• The last option, 0.61 > 0.93, is false because 0.61 is less than 0.93 when comparing the hundredths place.

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.74 < 0.80.
