What’s bigger 0.89 or 11/13

Answer 1

First you need to convert both number to either decimals or fractions.

Decimals make for easier comparison.

0.89 & 11/13 = 0.846153846....

Hence

0.89 & 0.8436 ...

Drop the decimal point and zero.

Hence

89 & 8436...

Becomes

8900000..... & 8436.....

Drop the '8'

9000 .... & 436.... I think you will agree that '9' is greater than '8'.

Hence it follows that 0.89 > 11/13

However if we compare by fraction

0.89 = 89/100 & 11/13

Bring to a common denomiator of 100 x 13 = 1300 & compare the equivalent numerators.

Hence

89(13)/1300 & 11(100)/1300

1157/1300 & 1100 /1300

Hence

1157 > 1100

Hence it follows that 0.89 > 11/13
