Answer:
Explanation:
8 hundredth is ten larger that 8 thousands so Jim is correct and Lou is not right for the following reason:
8 hundredth means that the number is on the right side after the decimal
if we put it as a fraction:
8/100 and 8/1000
comparing:
take a common denominator(1000 for the two fractions)
8/100=80/1000
80/1000>8/1000
the nominator 80 is greater than 8
( this is one way to compare and prove)
Lou is wrong because on the number line 0.008 comes before 0.08
for example a number 2.08( 2 and 8 hundredth)
and 2.008 ( 2 and 8 thousandth)
ones decimal tenth hundredth thousandth
2 . 0 8
2 . 0 0 8
the more the number goes to the right of the decimal the smaller the fraction
