Here we will determine if 0.3 is greater than 10/2. Before we continue, note that 0.3 is a decimal number and 10/2 is a fraction. To compare the two values, we can either make them both fractions and then compare the values, or we can make them both decimal numbers and then compare the values.
We start by making the decimal number a fraction, so we can compare two fractions to get our answer:
Is 0.3 greater than 10/2?
0.3 as a fraction is 3/10
3/10 is not greater than 10/2
0.3 is is not greater than 10/2
Next we will make the fraction a decimal number, so we can compare two decimal numbers to get our answer:
Is 0.3 greater than 10/2?
10/2 as a decimal is 5
0.3 is not greater than 5
0.3 is not greater than 10/2
There you have it. We used two methods to determine if 0.3 is greater than 10/2, with the same result: 0.3 is not greater than 10/2.
