Answer:

(0.53 > 0.51) both less than 1 while 5 is greater than both

Explanation:


(53)/(10) = .53, (51)/(10) = .51. and 5

the number line has two sides, with the left side for negative numbers while the right side is for positive numbers.

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -.53 -.51 0 .51 .53 1 2 3 4 5

By studying the number line above all decimal numbers greater than 0 but less than 1 are from 0, .1, .2,.........,.98, .99, 1.00 which is also the same as 1 because all numbers greater than 1 has an invisible point at its right side like 2., 3. which also means 2, 3 while negative number are all less than 0
