Question

Explanation:

Step1: Compare A's decimals

$1.405$ vs $1.450$: The hundredths place $0 < 5$, so $1.405 < 1.450$. Statement A is false.

Step2: Compare B's decimals

$42.03$ vs $4.203$: $42 > 4$, so $42.03
eq 4.203$. Statement B is false.

Step3: Compare C's decimals

$61.50$ vs $6.150$: $61 > 6$, so $61.50 > 6.150$. Statement C is false.

Step4: Compare D's decimals

$9.170$ vs $9.017$: The tenths place $1 > 0$, so $9.170 > 9.017$. Statement D is true.

Step5: Compare E's decimals

$3.6$ vs $3.600$: Trailing zeros after decimal do not change value, so $3.6 = 3.600$. Statement E is true.

Step6: Compare F's decimals

$25.04$ vs $20.54$: $25 > 20$, so $25.04 > 20.54$. Statement F is false.

Answer:

D) $9.170 > 9.017$, E) $3.6 = 3.600$
