Question

Is 7.5 greater or less than 48.75?

Answer 1

Less

Explanation:

The first thing to look at is the number to the LEFT of the decimal, if it is greater if it is greater the number will be greater no matter what's on the other side. If they are the same look at the first number to the RIGHT of the decimal. If they are also the same, keep moving one place to the right until you find a difference.
