Question.  16

Which of the following decimals is the greatest?

(A)

0.182

(B)

0.0925

(C)

0.29

(D)

0.038

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. Make all decimals the same length by adding zeros at the end.

    • 0.182 → 0.182
    • 0.0925 → 0.0925
    • 0.29 → 0.290
    • 0.038 → 0.038

  2. Compare digits from left to right.

    • Ones place: all are 0.
    • Tenths place: 0.182 has 1, 0.0925 has 0, 0.290 has 2, 0.038 has 0.
    • The largest tenths digit is 2, so 0.290 is greater than the others.

  3. Therefore, the greatest decimal is 0.29.
