https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82 Why is 3.3 > 3.2999 even though 3.2999 has more digits? en-us 2017-10-22 21:54:22 UTC 2018-10-24 12:23:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199637920 This question is true because the tenths place in 3.2999 is smaller than the tenths place in 3.3 the tenths place in 3.3 is 3 and the tenths place in 3.2999 is 2 so just because the 3.2999 has more digits than 3.3 doesn't mean that 3.2999 is bigger. If you keep adding digits 3.2999 will get bigger but mot bigger than 3.3. So the sum is that 3.3>3.2999. ]]> 2017-10-23 15:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199637920 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199637938 3.3 is bigger than 3.2999 even though 3.2999 has more digits. I think this because the tenths place in 3.3 is 3 and the tenths place in 3.2999 is 2.  Which means the 3 is bigger than the 2 so 3.3 is bigger. Even though the other number has more digits doesn't mean it has a bigger tenths place and hundredths place. The other number might have more numbers but if you want to have the biggest sum adding more digits wont do anything. that's why 3.3 has a greater sum than 3.2999 .]]> 2017-10-23 15:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199637938 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199651020 This question is true because 3.3 because the first 3 is the whole number so the whole number is 3 but so is the other number so they are the same their so that does not help. But then it is 3.3 and the other number is 3.2999 so the second three is bigger than the other second number which is 2. So that is how a smaller number can be bigger than a n mber with more digits. 3.3 is bigger than 3.29999]]> 2017-10-23 16:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199651020 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199653016 This question is true because in the tenths place of 3.2999 is a 2 and the number 3.3 the number in the tenths place is 3 and 3 is bigger than 2.]]> 2017-10-23 16:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199653016 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199656393 2017-10-23 16:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199656393 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199660088 3.3 is bigger than 3.2999 because of the opposite actually. The .2999 in the decimal is not a whole number. It would be a fraction if written in one. It would be bigger if you didn't have the decimal in front of it. Tens and tenths are two different things. Tens are whole numbers which aren't decimals or fractions. Tenths are behind a decimal point which means it is not a whole number it is either a decimal or a fraction.  To find out if the decimal is bigger in an easy way in my opinion is to figure out which decimal has the most digits behind the decimal point. Which ever one does is the smallest.]]> 2017-10-23 16:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/199660088 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/200468689 3.3 is bigger because the three in ]]> 2017-10-25 15:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/200468689 https://padlet.com/seibels/t831e7v7ir82/wish/200478757 This question is true because the tenths place is of 3.2999  and the tenths place is a two in that number and 3.3  the tenths is 3 and 3  is bigger then the other tenth 2.So 3 is bigger then 2.So the question is

I think this because I know when you compare decimals you always have to look at the whole # 1st but , because ours is the same we move on to the tenths. Our tenths are 3 and 2 and because 3 is bigger than 2 we know 3.3 is the bigger decimal.
