Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) 0.5 or 0.05

Comparing the tenths place, we get 5 > 0

∴ 0.5 > 0.05

(ii) 0.7 or 0.5

Comparing the tenths place, we get 7 > 5

∴ 0.7 > 0.5

 

(iii) 7 or 0.7

Comparing the one’s place, we get 7 > 0

∴ 7 > 0.7

(iv) 1.37 or 1.49

Comparing the tenths place, we get 3 < 4

∴ 1.37 < 1.49 or 1.49 > 1.37

 

(v) 2.03 or 2.30

Comparing the tenths place, we get 0 < 3

∴ 2.03 < 2.30 or 2.30 > 2.03

(vi) 0.8 or 0.88 ⇒ 0.80 or 0.88

Since tenths place is same.

Comparing the hundredth place, we get 0 < 8

∴ 0.80 < 0.88 or 0.88 > 0.80
