What is the appropriate decimal number?
We will add 0 to the number 0.7 and to the number 0.8 to reveal the range between the two numbers:
In other words, the number should be between 70 and 80
Therefore, the appropriate answer is 0.75
Which decimal number is greater?
The symbol means strictly less than, not less than or equal to. Since we need , the number 0.8 itself doesn't work!
Think of them as 0.70 and 0.80. Any number from 0.71, 0.72, 0.73... up to 0.79 works! The middle value 0.75 is often the easiest choice.
Absolutely! Any decimal between 0.7 and 0.8 works: are all correct. The question asks for an appropriate answer, not the only answer.
Read it like a sentence: means "0.7 is less than something, and that something is less than 0.8." Your answer goes in the middle!
Adding zeros helps you see the hundredths place clearly! It's easier to find numbers between 70 and 80 hundredths than between 0.7 and 0.8.
