Answer 2

We are required to write a real world problem which compares 0.4 and 0.29.

Let us consider the problem,

'Seth found two ropes of different lengths at the store. The lengths of the ropes are 0.4 meters and 0.29 meters respectively. Which rope should Seth buy to get the rope of maximum length?'

On solving,

Length of rope A = 0.4 meters

Length of rope B = 0.29 meters

It is required to buy the rope of maximum length.

As, 0.4 > 0.29

Thus, the rope of length 0.4 meters is the best option to buy.
