Best Answer

the farther the decimal place goes to the right, the smaller the number,ie 0.09 is smaller than 0.1 because the decimal place is smaller. 0.09 (Zero and one HUNDREDTHS) vs 0.1 (zero and one TENTH).

One hundred is bigger than ten. With decimals it is the opposite. One HUNDREDTH is smaller than one TENTH.
