Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.27 Use Place Value to Read, Write, and Compare Whole Numbers and Decimals skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Violet weighed two backpacks (kilograms). Number 1: 0.6948 Number 2: 0.6037 Which choice correctly compares Number 1 and Number 2?
ANumber 1 = Number 2 because the number with more digits after the decimal is always greater.
BNumber 2 > Number 1 because the number with fewer digits is always greater.
CNumber 1 > Number 2 because the first difference is in the hundredths place: 9 is greater than 0, so Number 1 is greater.
DNumber 1 < Number 2 because you can ignore the decimal point and compare the digits as one whole number.
Solution & Explanation:Number 1 is 0.6948. Number 2 is 0.6037. Line up the decimal points and compare digits from left to right. The first place they differ is the hundredths place: 9 is greater than 0. So Number 1 > Number 2.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Uma weighed two backpacks (kilograms). Number 1: 18.4205 Number 2: 18.420500 Which choice correctly compares Number 1 and Number 2?
ANumber 2 > Number 1 because the number with more digits after the decimal is always greater.
BNumber 1 = Number 2 because the digits look the same, the values must be equal.
CNumber 1 < Number 2 because the digits look the same, the values must be equal.
DNumber 1 = Number 2 because when you line up place values, every digit matches, so they represent the same value (extra trailing zeros do not change a decimal).
Solution & Explanation:Number 1 is 18.4205. Number 2 is 18.420500. Line up the decimal points and compare digits from left to right. All place values match. Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal do not change its value. So the numbers are equal.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Tariq weighed two backpacks (kilograms). Number 1: 5,745,686.032224 Number 2: 5,745,686.200200 Which choice correctly compares Number 1 and Number 2?
ANumber 1 > Number 2 because the number with more digits after the decimal is always greater.
BNumber 2 < Number 1 because you can compare only the last digit to decide.
CNumber 1 < Number 2 because the first difference is in the tenths place: 0 is less than 2, so Number 1 is less.
DNumber 1 = Number 2 because the number with fewer digits is always greater.
Solution & Explanation:Number 1 is 5,745,686.032224. Number 2 is 5,745,686.200200. Line up the decimal points and compare digits from left to right. The first place they differ is the tenths place: 0 is less than 2. So Number 1 < Number 2.
