In order to compare which is greater, we will compare the numbers by adding 0 to 0.30 in the following way:
Note that before the decimal point we have 0 in both numbers
After the decimal point in both numbers we have the number 3 and then the number 0
The different numbers are the last numbers 5 and 0
Since 5 is greater than 0 the appropriate sign is:
Reduce the following fraction:
\( 0.30 \)
Adding zeros helps you line up the decimal places for accurate comparison. , so now you can easily see that 0.305 > 0.300!
Yes! Adding zeros to the right of a decimal doesn't change its value. 0.30, 0.300, and 0.3000 are all equal - they represent the same amount.
Always compare the whole number part first! If they're different, the larger whole number wins. Only compare decimal places when the whole numbers are the same.
Use the same alignment method: add zeros to make all decimals have the same number of places, then compare digit by digit from left to right until you find a difference.
For the final answer, trailing zeros don't matter (0.30 = 0.3). But during comparison, adding zeros helps you visualize and organize your work correctly.
