Best Answer

1.6666.... > 1.6

The easiest way to compare recurring decimals is to convert tp fractions.

Hence#

1.6666.... = 1 2/3 ^ 1.6 = 1 3/5

Discountring the prefix '1'

2/3 & 3/5

Bring both to a common denominagtor and equivalent numerator

2/3 = 10/15 & 3/5 = 9/15

Compare numerators 10 & 9 . Clearly 10 > 9.

Hence 2/3 > 3/5

1 2/3 > 1 3/5

1.6666.... > 1.6
