Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

I just want to add on that when you have a number like this : `73.204031402` and `73.201979679`

It may look that the number on the right is bigger. And I know why, because the number on the right has more `9`'s at first glance.

You start from the number on the left and work to the right. I'll call the first number `a` and the second `b`.

So, starting with the first number, the tens unit, they are both `7`. Next is the units, but they're both `3`. After that is the tenths, but they're both `2`. Next is hundredth, but again they are both `0`.

Next is where things get interesting. In the thousandth column, we have `4` in `a` and `1` in `b`. However, the numbers in `a` after the thousandth column is significantly larger than the numbers in `b`.

Still, `a` is the bigger number because a thousandth is worth more than, say, a millionth.
