Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Choose the number larger than the given number

00:04 Let's compare the digits of the numbers

00:13 The digit 2 is greater than 1, so the number is larger

00:16 Let's check the next number using the same method

00:26 The digit 4 is less than 5, so the number is smaller

00:30 Let's check the next number using the same method

00:33 We can always add 0 to the right side of the last digit

00:41 The digit 0 is less than 1, so the number is smaller

00:44 Let's check the next number using the same method

00:50 We can see that the numbers are equal

00:54 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

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.
