Question

Fill in the missing sign:

24.305 — 24.315 24.305\text{ }_{—\text{ }}24.315

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First let's compare the numbers.

We can see that, before the decimal point, both numbers start with 24.

After the decimal point, we also have the digit 3 in both numbers.

Then the digits are 0 in one number and 1 in the other.

Since 1 is greater than 0, the appropriate sign is the 'less-than' sign:

24.305 < 24.315
