Question #15eb7

Answer 1

0.8

Explanation:

Write as: 10; 2; 0.8; 888.96

1 decimal place is counting in tenths
2 decimal places is counting in hundredths

So 888.96 is the same as `888+9/10+6/100`

Also 0.8 is the same as `8/10`

Writing them again we have:

`10;" "2;" "8/10;" "888+9/10+6/100`

The 888 part of `888+9/10+6/100` is so large in comparison to the others that the decimal part is of no consequence

Write as `10;" "2;" "8/10;" "888`

Clearly the least value is `8/10=0.8`

Not good practice to use the word 'smallest'. I do not wish to confuse you so I will not go into the reason why this is the case.
