Question

8. Michelle has 0.5 pound of red peppers

and 0.50 pound of green peppers.
Which number sentence correctly
compares the amounts of red and
green peppers that Michelle has?
A 0.5 = 0.50
B 0.5 > 0.50
C 0.50 > 0.5
D 0.50 <0.5

Answer 1

A 0.5 = 0.50

Explanation:

The amount of green and red papers are actually equal because green paper is 0.50 and red is 0.5

These two are equal.

In a decimal it doesn't matter if you but 0 after the number, it matters when you but it before the number, because then the value will decrease
