Which number is greater/bigger 1.4 or 1.2 ???

1.4 is greater

heres how it goes:
1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2

1.5 would be one and a half

1.4 is bigger than 1.2, because:

1.4 x 10 = 14
1.2 x 10 = 12

∵ 14 > 12
∴ 1.4 > 1.2

1.4 = 1 4/10
1.2 = 1 2/10

OR

100__10__1__1/10__1/100
_________1___4_____0
_________1___2_____0

1.4 is greater

When determining which number is bigger, first look at the largest place found in either number. For example, if you were comparing 148.3 and 149.1, you would start with the hundreds place. If they are the same, you go one place to the right (to the tens place). These are also the same (4), so we go one place to the right. Now we find a difference (9 vs. 8). The one with the larger digit is the larger number, so 149.1 is larger than 148.3.

Using this strategy, you should be able to determine that 1.4 is greater than 1.2.

1.4 is bigger
when you refer to a number line
--------|-------|-----|-----|------|-----|------|------|----|-----|-----|------|
0 1.0 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0

If you cut a pie into ten equal parts, each part is .1 of the whole pie.

In this case, you have .4 and .2

.4 would be 4 pieces of the pie
.2 would be 2 pieces of the pie

Therefore, .4 would be greater than .2 and 1.4 would be greater than 1.2.

1.4

example:
10x1.4=14
10x1.2=12

14>12

1.4

Look at it as tho it were money.
$1.40
$1.20

$1.40 is more than $1.20.

1.4

1.4 = 1 + .4 and .4 = 4/10 or 2/5
1.2 = 1 + .2 and .2 = 2/10 or 1/5

1.5 would be 1 and 1/2, since .5 = 5/10 = 1/2

so 1.4 is bigger. haha hope this helps bud
