Q1. Which is greater? (a) 0.3 or 0.4 (b) 0.07 or 0.02 (c) 3 or 0.8 (d) 0.5 or 0.05 (e) 1.23 or 1.2 (f) 0.099 or 0.19 (g) 1.5 or 1.50 (h) 1.431 or 1.490 (i) 3.3 or 3.300 (j) 5.64 or 5.603 Solution/Explanation: (a) 0.3 or 0.4 The whole parts of these numbers are same. It can be seen that the tenth part of 0.4 is greater than that of 0.3. Hence, 0.4 > 0.3 (b) 0.07 and 0.02 Here, both numbers have same parts up to the tenth place. However, the hundredth part of 0.07 is greater than that of 0.02. Hence, 0.07 > 0.02 (c) 3 or 0.8 It can be seen that the whole part of 3 is greater than that of 0.8. Hence, 3 > 0.8 (d) 0.5 or 0.05 The whole parts of these numbers are same. It can be seen that the tenth part of 0.5 is greater than that of 0.05. Hence, 0.5 > 0.05 (e) 1.23 or 1.20 Here, both numbers have same parts up to the tenth place. However, the hundredth pa
