Question

which number is the greatest?
1.2
1.3
1.235
1.003

Explanation:

Step1: Compare tenths place

All numbers have 1 in the ones place. Check tenths: 1.2 (2), 1.3 (3), 1.235 (2), 1.003 (0). 3 is largest here, so 1.3 is a candidate.

Step2: Verify with others

Compare 1.3 with 1.2 (1.3 > 1.2), 1.235 (1.3 > 1.235 as 0.3 > 0.235), 1.003 (1.3 > 1.003).

Answer:

B. 1.3 (assuming options are labeled A:1.2, B:1.3, C:1.235, D:1.003)
