To compare any decimals

0.08 & 0.18

#1 Bring both decimals to the same number of decimal places, by inserting suffix 'zeroes' ( Already done in this case at 2 d.p.).

#2 ; Drop the decimal point

Hence

008 & 018

#3 ; Drop the prefix zeroes.

Hence

8 & 18

I think you will agree that 18 > 8 or 8 < 18

Hence it follows that 0.08 < 0,18

This method is good for all decimals.

NB

Compare 0.8 & 0.18

Notice I have altered the one decimal to 0.8 from 0.08

0.80 & 0.18 ( 2 d.p.)

080 & 018 ( Drop the Decimal point)

80 & 18 ( Drop the prefix 'zeroes'.

80 > 18

Hence it follows that 0.8 > 0.18
