Marco says the length of his desk is 0.85 meters. Jason says the length of Marco's desk is 0.819 meters. Select the correct symbol from the drop-down list to compare the measurements. 0.85 meters 0.819 meters Question 2 Part B Jason says his measurement is greater than Marco's measurement because 819 is greater than 85. Is Jason correct? Explain your answer using words and numbers.

0.85 > 0.819

Part B: Jason is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length as per Marco = 0.85 meters

Length as per Jason = 0.819 meters

It can be clearly seen that both the quantities are lesser than 1.

and length of desk as per Marco is greater than the length as per Jason.

So, the answer is:

0.85 > 0.819.

Part B:

Jason says his measurement is greater than Marco's measurement because 819 is greater than 85.

Here no doubt that 819 > 85 is true.

But, here we are dealing in decimals and the quantities are:

0.819 and 0.85 which can also be written as 0.850.

And therefore, 0.850 > 0.819 i.e. Jason is incorrect.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
