Question

Is seventeen hundredths greater or lesser or equal to 0.030

Answer 1

This is less than 0.030 because it is 0.017

Answer 2

17 hundreths is 17 of 1/100 or 17/100 or 1.7/10 or 0.17

so is 0.17 greater than or less or equal to 0.030?

we can wreite 0.030 as 0.30/10=3.0/100=3/100
and 0.17=17/100
so
17/100 vs 3/100
times 100 both sides
17 vs 3
17>3

17 hundreths is greater than 0.030
