Answer:

Dean is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

% means out of 100, so 13% can also be written as 13/100 or .13

Now we can compare decimals to decimals.

.13 > .10

You can even multiply both numbers by 100 to check your work!

*Remember, when multiplying a number by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the right.*

.13(100) = 13

.1(100) = 10 or .10(100) = 10

Notice that by adding a 0 to the end of .1, it's value does not change.

Let's compare again:

Since 13 > 10, Dean is correct.

It is required to find whether Dean's statement is true.

Dean's statement of [tex]13\%[/tex] being greater than [tex]0.1[/tex] is correct.

Dean says that [tex]13\%[/tex] is greater than [tex]0.1[/tex]

Let us convert the percentage value to a decimal value since the other number is also a decimal value.

[tex]13\%=\dfrac{13}{100}=0.13[/tex]

So, [tex]0.13>0.1[/tex]

Dean's statement of [tex]13\%[/tex] being greater than [tex]0.1[/tex] is correct.
