Comparing Decimals

  • 0:00 - 0:08
    Use less than or greater than for this little brackets thing to write a true sentence.
  • 0:08 - 0:22
    So they essentially want us to say whether 45.675 is greater than or less than 45.645.
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    So let's look at each of these numbers.
    I'm just going to write them on top of each other.
  • 0:26 - 0:34
    So the first a number is forty-five and six hundred and seventy-five thousandths.
  • 0:34 - 0:43
    and the second number is
    forty-five and six hundred and forty-five thousandths.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    Now when you look at everything, here, the only place,
  • 0:45 - 0:51
    where these two numbers are different is in the hundredths place.
  • 0:51 - 0:56
    We have 7 hundredths here and
    we have 4 hundredths here.
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    Everything is the same, so this number is going to be greater.
  • 1:00 - 1:07
    This number is a greater than 45.645,
    or six-hundred and forty-five thousandths.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Let me write that down just to make sure,
    we know what we're doing.
  • 1:10 - 1:15
    Forty-five and six hundred and
    seventy-five thousandths,
  • 1:15 - 1:22
    or 45.675, is definitely greater than 45.645,
  • 1:22 - 1:28
    or forty-five and six hundred and forty-five
    thousandths.
