Decimal Comparison: Find the Missing Symbol Between 0.655 and 0.55

Question

Determine the appropriate sign (?) according to the number line:

$0.655?0.55$

00:09 First, let's choose the correct sign.

00:12 We'll use a number line to find two numbers.

00:16 If a number is on the left, it's smaller; on the right, it's larger.

00:20 Let's find where our number is compared to the second one.

00:28 And that's how we find the solution!

First let's look at the number 0.55.

We'll add 0.1 to it in order to get 0.655.

This can be written as follows:

$0.55=0.550$

Looking at the numbers after the decimal point, we can observe that:

$0.655>0.550$
