Let's compare the numbers in the following way:
We notice that before the decimal point, both numbers start with 1 and then 0
After that, the numbers are different, 1 versus 2
Since 2 is greater than 1, the appropriate sign is:
Reduce the following fraction:
\( 0.30 \)
Great question! When the whole number parts are different (101 vs 102), they determine the comparison. Since 102 > 101, we know 102.1 > 101.0 regardless of what comes after the decimal point.
Then you'd compare the tenths place! Since 0 < 5 in the tenths place, you'd have 101.0 < 101.5. Always move right to the next decimal place when the current digits are equal.
In this problem, no! The whole numbers (101 vs 102) already tell us the answer. But always check decimal places when whole numbers are equal.
Think of the symbol as a hungry mouth that always wants to eat the bigger number! So < 'eats' the larger number on the right, and > 'eats' the larger number on the left.
