Which decimal is greater: 0.74 or 0.68?

• Insufficient information

• Both are equal

• 0.68

• 0.74

What can be concluded if two decimals look different but align perfectly when compared?

• They are both prime numbers

• Further comparison of digits is needed

• One is definitely larger

• They are equal

How do you determine which of two decimals is greater?

• By counting the number of digits

• By checking if they are multiples of ten

• By comparing from the leftmost digit

• By adding them together

Why is 0.8 greater than 0.08?

• Because 8 is in the tenths place in 0.8

• Because 0.08 has more digits

• Because 0.8 is a whole number

• Both are equal

What does it mean if two decimals are identical when compared?

• They are not equal

• One is greater than the other

• They are equal

• They are both odd numbers

In decimal comparison, what role does the tenths place play?

• It has no role

• It is the least significant

• It determines the largest value

• It is only important in whole numbers

Which decimal is smaller: 0.95 or 0.96?
