Decimal Comparison: Determining Whether 0.48 < or > 0.84 Using Number Line

Question

Determine the appropriate sign according to the number line:

$0.48?0.84$

00:00 Set the appropriate sign

00:04 We'll use the number line to find the 2 numbers

00:07 If the number is to the left of the second number then it's smaller, and if to the right it's larger

00:11 We'll identify the position of our number in relation to the second number

00:16 And this is the solution to the question

Let's compare the numbers after the decimal point since 48 is less than 84, we find that:

$0.48<0.84$
