Is 0.5 inches greater than 0.093 inches?

Answer 1

YES!!!

To compare decimals, irrespective of the units ' inches'.

0.5 & 0.093

Bring both decimals to the same number of decimal places by inserting suffix 'zeroes'.

Hence

0.500 & 0.093 ( 3 d.p.)

Drop the decimal point

0500 & 0093

Drop the prefix zeroes, they are trivial

500 & 93

I think you will agree that 500 is greater than 93 ( 500 > 93)

Hence it follows that 0.5 ins. > 0.093 ins.

NB This method of comparing decimals is good for any sized decimal e.g.

0.00004 & 0.003 0.003 > 0.00004
