Best Answer

0.03 = 3/100

0.3 = 3/10

If you divide the same number (3) into a lot more parts (100 instead of only 10), then each part is smaller. So 0.03 is smaller than 0.3.

If you times 0.03 by 10 you get 0.3

If you times 0.3 by 10 you get 3

Clearly 3 is bigger than 0.03 (and you timesd them by the same amount)
