To determine which answer is correct, let's compare the answers to the number 0.751 and find out which one is larger:
Let's look at the answers:
0.752 - Since the thousandths digit is 2 and 2 is greater than 1, this is the correct answer.
0.749 - Since the hundredths digit is 4 and 4 is less than 5, this is not the correct answer.
0.75 - If we add 0 we get the number 0.750, since the thousandths digit is 0 and 0 is less than 1, this is not the correct answer.
0.751 - Since both numbers are equal to each other, this is not the correct answer.
Which decimal number is greater?
0.75 equals 0.750, not 0.751! When comparing decimals, we can add zeros to make the same number of decimal places. Since 0 < 1 in the thousandths place, 0.750 < 0.751.
Start from the left and compare digit by digit. For vs , the tenths (7) and hundredths (5) are the same, but in thousandths: 1 < 2, so 0.752 is larger.
Add zeros to the right to make them equal length! For example: 0.75 becomes 0.750. This doesn't change the value but makes comparison easier.
Yes! Place the decimals on a number line. Numbers further to the right are larger.
The question asks for a number larger than 0.751, not equal to it. Since 0.751 = 0.751, it's not greater than itself. We need a number that's actually bigger.
