A number that has three hundredths is greater than a number that has two hundredths, no matter what comes after it. Lining up the decimal places, that's really comparing 0.030 to 0.023. In that case, it's easy to see that 30 thousandths is greater than 23 thousandths.

0.03 - 0.023 = 0.007. Since the first number minus the second leaves a positive remainder, it must be larger.
