Here we have to figure out if 5 ones and 8 tenths is greater than or less than or equal to 58 tenths.
Now,
5 ones = 5
8 tenths [tex]=\frac{8}{10} =0.8[/tex]
Together, 5 ones and 8 tenths make
[tex]5+0.8=5.8[/tex]
Now,
58 tenths [tex]=\frac{58}{10} =5.8[/tex]
We can see that 5 ones and 8 tenths and 58 tenths both are equivalent.
Therefore, 5 ones and 8 tenths is neither less nor greater than 58 tenths. They both are equal.
