Yes. After the decimal point, append some extra zeroes so there are the same number of digits. So keep 1.31 the same, but add a zero to the end of 1.3. Now look at the numbers. You have 1.31 and 1.30. So think of like this: Which is higher, 31 or 30? Since 31 is higher, 1.31 is the higher number.

Yes, it helps if you think of their fractional equivalents. 1.31 is 1 and 31/100, 1.3 is 1 and 3/10 or 30/100. The first number is 1/100 larger.

It may not be. 1.31 has two significant digits after decimal whereas 1.3 has only one significant digit after decimal. 1.3 may have been rounded to one significant digit after decimal. Thus there are chances that someone has rounded 1.34 to 1.3. Therefore, one can't say that 1.31 is greater than 1.3. 1.31 is greater than 1.30 but it may not be greater than 1.3.

Yes it is. Think of money. $1.31 is more than $1.30 (adding the zero does not change the value).

Is this a trick question?

Imagine the numbers are dollars. In one case you have $1.30 in the other you have $1.31. Who has more money? $1.31.
