Answer:
greater than
-2.05 > -2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
remember, a decimal is another way of writing a fraction so we can say
-2.05
= -2 [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex]
-2.50
= -2 [tex]\frac{50}{100}[/tex]
for the sake of this problem I am not going to simplify
Also remember, the greater a negative value is, the less is amounts to.
Think of it like debt. One owing 2.05 dollars is less than one owing 2.50 dollars
Hence we can say
-2 [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] > 2 [tex]\frac{50}{100}[/tex]
