Compare between 9.2 and 7.9 and find which is greater?
Solution:
Whole part of 9.2 = 9 Whole part of 7.9 =7 \[\text{9}>\text{7}.\text{ So 9}.\text{2}>\text{7}.\text{9}\]
Compare 14.7 and 14.3, which is greater?
Solution:
Whole part of 14.7 =14
Whole part of 14.3 = 14
\[\because \]Both the decimals have same whole part, therefore, compare decimal parts.
The digit at the tenths place in 14.7 = 7
The digit at the tenths place in 14.3 = 3
\[\text{7}>\text{3}.\text{ So 14}.\text{7}>\text{14}.\text{3}\]
