Question

For which number does the 9 have the least value? 9.001 or 7.079 or 0.9 or 0.29

Answer 1

7.079

Explanation:

Let's take a look where the 9 is in each number:

• 9.001, 9 is in NOT in the decimal meaning that it will be the greatest.

• 0.9 is really just 0.90000 but the 9 is still in a high position, (the tenths place in decimal)

• 0.29, has the 9 in the hundreds position for decimals

• 7.079, has 9 in the thousands place, in this comparison it will make it the least out of all these four.

So our answer is:

7.079
