Question

Which is greater? 5.3 or 5.03​

Answer 1

5.3 is greater than 5.03

Answer 2

Answer: [5.3 is greater than 5.03]

EXPLAINATION:-  Obviously 5=5, so the question here is which is greater, .3 or .03

A good way to examine this problem is to convert the decimals to fractions.

.3= 3/10  

.03 = 3/100  

Now, if this still doesn't make it clear, let's think of these fractions in monetary terms (USD) and see which has a greater value. 3/10 of one dollar is .30 cents. 3/100 of one dollar is .05 cents.

In conclusion, 5.3 is greater than 5.03 (ANSWER)
