To determine which answer is correct, let's compare the answers to 0.65 and find out which one is larger:
Let's look at the answers:
0.66 - Since the hundredths digit is 6 and 6 is greater than 5, this is the correct answer.
0.749 - In this case, we'll add 0 to our number and compare between 0.650 and 0.749. Since the hundredths digit is 4 and 4 is less than 5, this is not the correct answer.
0.65 - Since both numbers are equal to each other, this is not the correct answer.
0.64 - Since the hundredths digit is 4 and 4 is less than 5, this is not the correct answer.
Which decimal number is greater?
More digits does not mean larger value! Think of it like money: 0.645. Compare digit by digit: both have 6 in tenths place, but 0.66 has 6 in hundredths while 0.645 has 4 in hundredths.
Add zeros to the end to make them the same length! For example, write as , then compare: 0.660 vs 0.650 vs 0.645 vs 0.640.
Compare each place value carefully! Even tiny differences matter. and differ by only 0.01, but 0.66 is still definitively larger.
Yes, always start from the left! Compare tenths place first, then hundredths, then thousandths. This is like comparing whole numbers - you check the biggest place values first.
This means find the number that is greater than 0.65. You're looking for the option that has a value larger than 0.65, not equal to it.
