To compare the decimals, we can see which number is larger by looking at each digit, starting from the leftmost side. Here's the comparison for each pair:
-
0.75 vs 0.7:
- 0.75 has two decimal places and 0.7 can be represented as 0.70.
- Comparing the digits: 7 (from 0.75) is equal to 7 (from 0.70), but 5 is greater than 0. Therefore, 0.75 > 0.7.
-
0.8 vs 0.80:
- 0.80 has two decimal places, but since the trailing zero does not change the value, both numbers are equivalent: 0.8 = 0.80.
- Therefore, 0.8 = 0.80.
-
0.9 vs 0.85:
- Comparing the digits: 9 (from 0.9) is greater than 8 (from 0.85).
- Therefore, 0.9 > 0.85.
So, the correct symbols are:
- >
- =
- >
Overall, the comparisons can be summarized as follows:
- \( 0.75 > 0.7 \)
- \( 0.8 = 0.80 \)
- \( 0.9 > 0.85 \)
