Question

which decimal is greater than the one shown in this diagram? 0.22 0.1 0.19 0.17

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the decimal from the diagram

The diagram shows a square divided into 10 equal parts, with 2 parts shaded. So the decimal represented is $\frac{2}{10} = 0.2$.

Step2: Compare with the given decimals

• Compare 0.22 with 0.2: $0.22 > 0.2$ (since 0.22 - 0.2 = 0.02 > 0)
• Compare 0.1 with 0.2: $0.1 < 0.2$
• Compare 0.19 with 0.2: $0.19 < 0.2$ (0.2 - 0.19 = 0.01 > 0)
• Compare 0.17 with 0.2: $0.17 < 0.2$

Answer:

0.22
