Question
Make five more examples and find the greater number from them.
Solution
Five more examples are given below:
- 32.55 or 32.5
The whole parts for both numbers are the same. The tenth part is also equal, but the hundredth part of 32.55 is greater than that of 32.5
Hence, 32.55 > 32.5 - 1 or 0.99
The whole part of 1 is greater than that of 0.99
∴ 1 > 0.99 - 1.09 or 1.093
Here both the numbers have the same parts up to the hundredth. But the thousandth part of 1.093 is greater than that of 1.09
∴ 1.093 > 1.09 - 2 or 1.99
The whole part of 2 is greater than that of 1.99
∴ 2 > 1.99 - 2.08 or 2.085
Here both the numbers have the same parts up to the hundredth. But the thousandth part of 2.085 is greater than that of 2.08
∴ 2.085 > 2.08

One measure of average global temperature shows how each year varies from a base measure. The table shows results for several years.
| Year | 1958 | 1964 | 1965 | 1978 | 2002 |
| Difference from base | 0.10°C | – 0.17°C | – 0.10°C | `(1/50)^circ`C | 0.54°C |
See the table and answer the following:
- Order the five years from coldest to warmest.
- In 1946, the average temperature varied by – 0.03°C from the base measure. Between which two years should 1946 fall when the years are ordered from coldest to warmest?
