Decimal Comparison: Find the Missing Symbol Between 24.305 and 24.315

Question

Fill in the missing sign:

$24.305\text{ }_{—\text{ }}24.315$

00:00 Choose the appropriate sign

00:03 Let's compare the digits between the numbers

00:07 1 is greater than 0 therefore this number is bigger

00:10 And this is the solution to the question

First let's compare the numbers.

We can see that, before the decimal point, both numbers start with 24.

After the decimal point, we also have the digit 3 in both numbers.

Then the digits are 0 in one number and 1 in the other.

Since 1 is greater than 0, the appropriate sign is the 'less-than' sign:

$24.305 < 24.315$
