Ben says 7 9/100 must be less than 7 2/10 because 9 hundredths is less than 2 tenths. do you agree? draw a number line to show how you know

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
