Question

-2.05 is greater or less than -2.50​

Answer 1

greater than

-2.05 > -2.50

Explanation:

remember, a decimal is another way of writing a fraction so we can say

-2.05

= -2
`(5)/(100)`

-2.50

= -2
`(50)/(100)`

for the sake of this problem I am not going to simplify

Also remember, the greater a negative value is, the less is amounts to.

Think of it like debt. One owing 2.05 dollars is less than one owing 2.50 dollars

Hence we can say

-2
`(5)/(100)` > 2
`(50)/(100)`

Answer 2

less than is the answer
