Refer to Solved Examples on Comparing Decimals explained along with detailed steps in the later sections.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Compare Decimal Numbers?<\/h3>\n<p>When comparing decimal numbers use the following steps. They are along the lines<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We know a decimal number has whole number part and decimal part. The Decimal Number with Greater whole number part is greater.<\/li>\n<li>If the Decimals you are comparing have the same number of digits in them check the value of the number without a decimal point. The Larger the Decimal Number the Closer it is to One and thus it is greater.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, Read:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ccssanswers.com\/decimals\/\">Decimals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ccssanswers.com\/like-and-unlike-decimals\/\">Like and Unlike Decimals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ccssanswers.com\/conversion-of-unlike-decimals-to-like-decimals\/\">Conversion of Unlike Decimals to Like Decimals<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Comparing Decimals Examples<\/h3>\n<p>1. Compare 6.4 and 2.98?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, check the whole number part in both the decimals<\/p>\n<p>Since 6 &gt;2<\/p>\n<p>The Decimal Number 6.4 is greater than 2.98<\/p>\n<p>2. Compare 5.45 and 5.62?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Decimal Numbers are 5.45 and 5.62<\/p>\n<p>In these two decimal numbers, the whole number part is the same<\/p>\n<p>So we need to check the value after the decimal point<\/p>\n<p>45&lt;62<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, decimal number 5.62 is greater than 5.45<\/p>\n<p>3. Which is Smaller 18.02 or 18.234?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Decimals are 18.02 and 18.234<\/p>\n<p>Check the whole number parts, since both the whole number parts are the same check for the values next to the decimal point<\/p>\n<p>.02&lt;.234<\/p>\n<p>As .234 is closer to one it is greater than .02<\/p>\n<p>Thus, in the given decimals 18.02 is smaller than 18.234<\/p>\n<p>4. Find the greater number 163.19 and 136.21?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Decimals are 163.19 and 136.21<\/p>\n<p>Check the whole number parts initially<\/p>\n<p>163&lt;136<\/p>\n<p>Since the Whole Number 163 is greater the Decimal Number 163.19 is greater.<\/p>\n<p>5. Find the greater number; 2332.47 or 2332.99?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Decimals are 2332.47 and 2332.99<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, check the whole number parts<\/p>\n<p>2332=2332<\/p>\n<p>As the whole number parts are the same check the values of digits after the decimal point. The number closer to one is greater<\/p>\n<p>.47&lt;.99<\/p>\n<p>.99 is closer to one thus it is larger<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, 2332.99 is greater.<\/p>\n<p>6. Find the greater number 321.13 or 321.13?<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Decimal Numbers are 321.13, 32.13<\/p>\n<p>Check the Whole Number Parts<\/p>\n<p>321= 321<\/p>\n<p>Now, check the decimal parts of the given numbers<\/p>\n<p>.13 = .13<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, both the decimal numbers are equal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to Solve Problems on Comparing Decimals and facing any difficulties?
