Which of the following numbers is greater in value than ?
In order to determine the correct answer, add 0 to our number as follows:
Let's observe the answers:
0.55 - Given that the hundredths digit is 5 and 5 is greater than 0, this is the correct answer.
0.5 - If we add 0 and compare 0.50 to 0.50, due to the fact that both numbers are equal, this is not the correct answer.
0.42 - Owing to the fact that the tenths digit is 4 and 4 is less than 5, this is not the correct answer
0.499 - If we add another 0 to our number and compare 0.499 to 0.500, given that the tenths digit is 4 and 4 is less than 5, this is not the correct answer.
