Given:
-33/100
-0.3 with bar notation (meaning it is repeating)
Determine if it is greater than, less than or equal.
Explanation:
Since we are asked to compare a somewhat similar value of -0.33 which is the result of -33/100 and a repeating fraction -0.3, we can conclude the repeating fraction is less than -33/100 since it contains a repeating place value, and it is on negative, therefore it has a value that is less than the -0.33
-0.3(repeating) <-33/100
Final answer:
-0.3(repeating) <-33/100
