Which is greater? with steps
(a) 1 or 0.99
(b) 1.09 or 1.093
To determine which number is greater in each pair, we can compare them directly.
(a) 1 vs 0.99
Compare the whole number parts: Both numbers have a whole number part of 1 and 0 respectively.
Since 1 is greater than 0.99 based on their whole number part, 1 is greater than 0.99.
(b) 1.09 vs 1.093
Compare the whole number parts: Both numbers have a whole number part of 1.
Compare the tenths: Both numbers have the same tenths digit (0).
Compare the hundredths: Both numbers have the same hundredths digit (9).
Compare the thousandths: 1.09 has an implied zero in the thousandths place, while 1.093 has a 3 in the thousandths place.
Since 3 is greater than 0 in the thousandths place, 1.093 is greater than 1.09.

Which is greater? with steps
(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
Make five more examples and find the greater number from them.
To determine which number is greater in each pair, we'll compare them based on their decimal values.
(a) 0.3 or 0.4: 0.4 is greater than 0.3 because when comparing decimals, a larger number in the tenths place indicates a larger overall value.
(b) 0.07 or 0.02: 0.07 is greater than 0.02 because it has a larger number in the hundredths place.
(c) 3 or 0.8: 3 is greater than 0.8 because an integer value is generally greater than a decimal less than 1.
(d) 0.5 or 0.05: 0.5 is greater than 0.05 because a larger number in the tenths place (compared to the hundredths place in the smaller number) indicates it is larger.
(e) 1.23 or 1.2: 1.23 is greater than 1.2 because the additional hundredths place in 1.23 indicates a greater value.
(f) 0.099 or 0.19: 0.19 is greater than 0.099 because the tenths place is larger in 0.19.
(g) 1.5 or 1.50: These numbers are equal. However, conventionally 1.5 is considered the same value as 1.50.
(h) 1.431 or 1.490: 1.490 is greater than 1.431 because the hundredths place is higher.
(i) 3.3 or 3.300: These numbers are equal. Decimal places following a numeral don’t affect the value unless they add significant digits beyond zero.
(j) 5.64 or 5.603: 5.64 is greater than 5.603 because the hundredths place is larger.
For the additional examples, let's create and compare:
(k) 0.89 or 0.9: 0.9 is greater because the tenths place is higher.
(l) 2.33 or 2.3: 2.33 is greater because the hundredths place adds more value.
(m) 0.111 or 0.12: 0.12 is greater because the tenths place is higher, impacting the overall value more significantly.
(n) 1.007 or 1.07: 1.07 is greater because the hundredths place contributes more to its value than the thousandths place in 1.007.
(o) 4.444 or 4.45: 4.45 is greater because the tenths and hundredths places combined give it a higher value than 4.444, despite the thousandths place.
In summary:
- (a) 0.4
- (b) 0.07
- (c) 3
- (d) 0.5
- (e) 1.23
- (f) 0.19
- (g) Equal
- (h) 1.490
- (i) Equal
- (j) 5.64
- (k) 0.9
- (l) 2.33
- (m) 0.12
- (n) 1.07
- (o) 4.45
Exercise 8.2 - Decimals | NCERT | Mathematics | Class 6
Express as rupees using decimals.
(a) 5 paise
(b) 75 paise
(c) 20 paise
(d) 50 rupees 90 paise
(e) 725 paise
To express the given values in rupees using decimals, we need to remember that 1 rupee = 100 paise. Therefore, to convert paise to rupees, we divide the amount of paise by 100. Let's perform these conversions for each case:
(a) 5 paise in rupees: $$ \frac{5 , \text{paise}}{100} = 0.05 , \text{rupees} $$
(b) 75 paise in rupees: $$ \frac{75 , \text{paise}}{100} = 0.75 , \text{rupees} $$
(c) 20 paise in rupees: $$ \frac{20 , \text{paise}}{100} = 0.20 , \text{rupees} $$
(d) For 50 rupees 90 paise, we express 90 paise in rupees and add it to the 50 rupees: $$ 90 , \text{paise} = \frac{90}{100} = 0.90 , \text{rupees} $$ Therefore, $$ 50 , \text{rupees} + 0.90 , \text{rupees} = 50.90 , \text{rupees} $$
(e) 725 paise in rupees: $$ \frac{725 , \text{paise}}{100} = 7.25 , \text{rupees} $$
Summary:
- (a) 0.05 rupees
- (b) 0.75 rupees
- (c) 0.20 rupees
- (d) 50.90 rupees
- (e) 7.25 rupees

A number 5.4 is wrongly entered as 4.5 due to a typing error. Find the percentage error.
A) 11.11% B) 16.66% C) 18% D) 20%
The correct option is B) 16.66%
To find the percentage error due to the typo, we calculate the absolute difference between the incorrectly entered value and the correct value: $$ \text{Difference} = 5.4 - 4.5 = 0.9 $$ Next, we compute the percentage error by dividing the difference by the original number and then multiplying by 100: $$ \text{Percentage Error} = \left(\frac{0.9}{5.4}\right) \times 100 = 16.66% $$ Hence, the percentage error is 16.66%.
$3.5 \times 4.05 = X$. The value of $X$ is:
A) 14.545
B) $\mathbf{1 4 . 0 9 5}$
C) 13.6
D) $\mathbf{1 4 . 1 7 5}$
