which is greater 0.45 or 0.9?

Answer 1

even if you can't do maths you can figure this out:

.9 is pretty close to 1
.45 is pretty close to 1/2.

And we know 1 is more than 1/2

So, .9 is greater than .45

Answer 2

The first place to the right of the decimal represents tenths. The second represents hundredths. Zero decimal is equal in each number meaning there are no whole items represented. Next you compare the place just to the right of the decimal. 0.45 has 4 tenths or 4 parts out of ten. 0.9 has 9 tenths or 9 parts of a possible ten. (If there were ten parts as in .5 +.5 then you would have 1.0 or one whole set or unit. So in this case 0.9 is greater than 0.45.
You can think of it as money. To the left of the decimal are the whole dollars. In the first column to the right you have the dimes and in the second column from the decimal you have the pennies. 0.45 is no dollars, 4 dimes and 5 pennies whereas 0.9 is no dollars nine dimes and no pennies or 90 cents. Remember tenths are ALWAYS just to the right of the decimal and hundredths is always next to the tenths. Changing it to money in your head can make it make more sense. See $0.45 is forty five cents. So $0.90 is a larger sum at ninety cents. Adding zeros to numbers at the right of the decimal does not change the value, it just says 9 dimes and no pennies, the same way .9 says 9 dimes only which is still 90 cents. Good Luck

Answer 3

0.9 is greater because it is 9/10 or 90/100 and
0.45 is 45/100

Answer 4

0.9

think of it as greater numbers. for example, times both by 100, so thats 45 and 90

and 45<90

so 0.9 is greater

Answer 5

.9 is closer to 1 and 1 is greater than0

Answer 6

Are you serious? 0.9 is TWICE as large as 0.45

Answer 7

0.9 -- 0.45 = 0.45 > 0 therefore 0.9>0.45

Answer 8

0.9

just add zero on the 100ths place of 0.9

Answer 9

.45<.9

Answer 10

.45<.90
