1. Problem Description

The problem asks to compare the following numbers:
a. 10.3010.30 and 10.310.3
b. 5.065.06 and 5.605.60
c. 1.11.1 and 1.0991.099
Also, we need to round 3.141593.14159 to the nearest ten-thousandth.

2. Solution Steps

a. Comparing 10.3010.30 and 10.310.3.
We can rewrite 10.310.3 as 10.3010.30.
Since 10.30=10.3010.30 = 10.30, the two numbers are equal.
b. Comparing 5.065.06 and 5.605.60.
We compare the tenths place. 0<60 < 6, so 5.06<5.605.06 < 5.60.
c. Comparing 1.11.1 and 1.0991.099.
We can rewrite 1.11.1 as 1.1001.100.
Comparing 1.1001.100 and 1.0991.099, the ones place is the same. Comparing the tenths place, 1>01 > 0, so 1.100>1.0991.100 > 1.099.
Thus, 1.1>1.0991.1 > 1.099.
d. Rounding 3.141593.14159 to the nearest ten-thousandth.
The ten-thousandth place is the fourth digit after the decimal point.
The number is 3.141593.14159.
The digit in the ten-thousandth place is 55.
The digit to the right of 55 is 99.
Since 959 \ge 5, we round up the 55 to 66.
Thus, 3.141593.14159 rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth is 3.14163.1416.

3. Final Answer

a. 10.30=10.310.30 = 10.3
b. 5.06<5.605.06 < 5.60
c. 1.1>1.0991.1 > 1.099
d. 3.14163.1416
