0.05 ; the '5' is in the 'hundredths' column
0.5 p the '5' is in the 'tenths' column
A tenth os a larger fraction than a hundredth.
Another way to check ; good for all comparative decimals
#1 Bring both decimals to the same number of decimal places by inserting suffix 'zeroes'.
#2 Drop the decimal point
#3 Drop the prefix zero
#4 compare the numbers .
Hence
#1 ; 0.05 & 0.50
#2 ; 005 & 050
#3 ; 5 & 50
#4 Clearly 50 > 5 .
Hence it follows that 0.5 > 0.05
