Question

How many tenths does 0.18 have?
How many tenths does 0.25 have?
WHICHH of the two decimals plotted is greater?

Answer 1

To determine how many tenths each decimal has, we can look at the first digit after the decimal point.

1. **0.18**: The first digit after the decimal is "1", which means it has **1 tenth**.
2. **0.25**: The first digit after the decimal is "2", which means it has **2 tenths**.

Now, to compare the two decimals:
- 0.18 is equivalent to 0.1 (1 tenth) + 0.08
- 0.25 is equivalent to 0.2 (2 tenths) + 0.05

Since 0.25 is greater than 0.18, **0.25 is the greater decimal.**
