Among 0.125, 0.152, and 0.1025, which number is the greatest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.152

The governing concept is comparison of decimal numbers by aligning place values. Write the numbers with four decimal places: 0.1250, 0.1520, and 0.1025. Their whole-number parts and tenths digits are the same, so compare the hundredths digits. The hundredths digits are 2, 5, and 0 respectively; the largest is 5, belonging to 0.1520. Thus 0.152 > 0.125 and 0.152 > 0.1025, so option B is correct. The numbers are not equal because their digits differ at the hundredths place. Adding a trailing zero to 0.125 does not change its value; it only makes the lengths equal for comparison. Option C is actually the smallest of the three, while option A is between the other two. The digit-by-digit comparison confirms the answer without requiring conversion to fractions.
