Answer 1

`Laura = 0.60`

`Billy = 0.50`

0.60 > 0.50

Explanation:

Given

`Laura = 60\ shades`

`Billy = 50\ shades`

Required

Represent using decimal number and compare

From the question, we understand that there are 100th grids;

So:

`Laura = (60)/(100)`

`Laura = 0.60`

`Billy = (50)/(100)`

`Billy = 0.50`

Comparing both decimals;

Since 0.60 is greater than 0.50, we have:

0.60 > 0.50
