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
No
To compare Bring all four decimal to the same number of decimal places ( 3 d.p.) by inserting suffix ;zeroes; Hence 8,000 , 0.080 , 0.008 , & 0.800 Drop the decimal point 8000, 0080 , 0008 , 0800 Drop the prefix zeroes. 8000, 80, 8, 800. Hence 8000, > 800 > 80, > 8 Hence it follows from largest to smallest 8.0 > 0.8 > 0.08 > 0,008
008 is the same as 8, and 0.04 is smaller than 8.
No, 008 is not greater than 5. In numerical terms, 008 is equivalent to 8, which is greater than 5.
-0.0076
The figure .008 in money typically represents eight thousandths of a unit of currency. For example, in U.S. dollars, .008 equals 0.8 cents, which is less than one cent. In a broader financial context, it can also represent a small fraction of a larger amount, such as interest rates or percentages.
No
Yes, the third decimal place is smaller The numbers can be converted to scientific notation: 5x10-3 vs 8X10-3 The exponents are the same, so you check the "characteristic" (5 vs 8).
008 is the same as 8, so it is higher than 0.015 is. If you meant 0.008, then 0.015 is higher. If you meant 0.08, then 0.08 is higher.
To compare Bring all four decimal to the same number of decimal places ( 3 d.p.) by inserting suffix ;zeroes; Hence 8,000 , 0.080 , 0.008 , & 0.800 Drop the decimal point 8000, 0080 , 0008 , 0800 Drop the prefix zeroes. 8000, 80, 8, 800. Hence 8000, > 800 > 80, > 8 Hence it follows from largest to smallest 8.0 > 0.8 > 0.08 > 0,008
no
Yes, 11.72 is bigger by .008
80
008 = 8 = 800%
