Determine the correct inequality symbol to make the given expressions true.
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are comparing two decimal numbers0.05 and0.005. We need to determine whether0.05 is greater than, less than, or equal to0.005
STEP 2
First, we need to understand the value of each decimal number. The value of a decimal number is determined by the place value of each digit.In0.05, the5 is in the hundredths place, meaning it represents5/100 or0.05.In0.005, the5 is in the thousandths place, meaning it represents5/1000 or0.005.
STEP 3
Now, we can compare the two decimal numbers.Since5/100 (or0.05) is greater than5/1000 (or0.005), we can say that0.05 is greater than0.005.
STEP 4
So, the correct symbol to insert in the shaded area to make a true statement is .
The statement "0.05 is greater than0.005" is true.
