Step-by-Step Solution

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.

Answer

0.66 0.66
