question

hiii:

which is greater: .06 or 60%. and how do you show that on a number line?

60% is 60/100 which is 0.06, so they are the same thing. No!! I did this too hurriedly! - see Reinout's reply below.

60/100 = 0.6, which is ten times as big as 0.06.

therefore, 60% is bigger

Actually 60/100 = 0.6, which is ten times as big as 0.06.

therefore, 60% is bigger

Oops!! You are right of course. I must stop doing mental arithmetic late at night!
