Answer 1

to compare these decimals, we first have to turn 6.75 into 6.750, so it has the same place value as 6.732. adding a 0 to the right side of the last digit in the decimal does not change its value. now, we compare them. 6=6, 7=7, 5≠3. since 5 is greater than 3, we know 6.75 is greater than 6.732. this can be written as 6.75>6.732.

Answer 2

6.75>6.732

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

6.75 and 6.732

We have to compare two given decimal numbers.

First we convert like decimal number

In 6.75 there are two digits after decimal point.

In 6.732 , there are three digits after decimal point

Therefore, we put zero in 6.75 to convert like decimal number

Now, we get

6.750

Unit place of both decimal numbers are same and tenth place of both decimal number are same.

Now, hundredth place of 6.750 is 5 and hundredth place of 6.732 is 3

5 >3

Therefore, 6.750 is greater than 6.732

6.75>6.732
