Which is longer in MATH I NEED HALP!!!?

Question

Which is longer 0.0075 meters or 0.008 meters?

Answer 1

0.008 :)

Because it basically means you r comparing 0.0080 and 0.0075

so which one ie bigger 75 or 80?

:) hope tht explains it

Answer 2

0.008 is longer, because if you move the decimal point over 2 places in both numbers, then you will see that 0.0075 is really 7.5 and 0.008 is 8, therefore 8 is the larger number, thus longer.

Answer 3

so much fail in this question .,........

Answer 4

.008

Answer 5

0.0075 meters = 7.5 millimeters = about .3 inches

0.008 meters  =  8 millimeters  =  about .32 inches

I think you can figure it out now...

Answer 6

Neither.

0.008 is a rounded up version of 0.0075.

The answer is indeterminate.

If you were to type 0.0080, thus defining the 4th bit further, then 0.0080 is 'more than' 0.0075.

But as it is written you just can't say.

Is 39.370079 inches more than a meter? yes

Is 1 meter more than 40 inches? maybe. 1 meter +/- .5 meters might make the meter longer.

Be very careful when dealing with equivalencies that are not defined the same way. Presuming you know they are equal can cause BIG errors. (A multi-million dollar satellite crashed into Mars a few years back, because the software programmers assumed meters, not 'feet' were the scale, and no one asked.)

Oops!

Indeterminate is the right answer
