When comparing two decimals- such as 0.57 and 0559 - how can you decide which decimal represents the greater number?

0.57 > 0.559 0.57 is greater than 0.559 because when you tack on the extra zero on "0.57", it makes it 0.570.


Is 4.05 greater than 4.45?

to make the answer to this problem clear, ignore the decimals for now. now it simply reads that 405 is less than 445. pretty obvious. however, you must understand that the decimals were not just taken away; both numbers had the decimal place moved the same amount of times. therefore, when comparing 56.00009 and 57.01 you cant ignore the decimals and say that 5600009 is greater that 5701. if you move the decimals in both numbers to the right the same amount of times then you get the question, "is 5600009 greater than 5701000?" the answer is no.
