Sorry, no.

The order of decimal numbers, from low to high, to the nearest thousandths, is as follows: 0, 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, ... , 0.,484, 0.485, 0.486, .... , 0.509, 0.510, 0.511, ... etc.

To know for sure, when you want to compare two positive numbers, divide the number that you think is higher by the other number. The answer has to be greater than 1. If not, then your assumption is wrong.

Let us assume 0.51 is greater than 0.485. Take the ratio:

0.51/0.485 = 1.05, which is greater than 1. Hence, the assumption is correct.

Since lengths are involved in this problem, we need not consider negative numbers. However, in case you have to compare one positive number with a negative number, remember that all positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.
