Convert it all to real decimal numbers
is 1/4 (=0.25) plus 2/10 (=0.2) ((which comes to 0.45)) more or less than 1/2 (=0.5)
well it is less isn't it!.
three tenths is more than a quarter
three fifths.....or anywhere between 25% and 49%
two tenths is more then ten one hundredths
5/10 is one half of something and 3/10 is less than one third of something. Let's say you had ten dollars. 5/10 of that would be five dollars, but 3/10 would only be three dollars.
yes

There are 55 tenths in 5 and a half. To convert 5 and a half to tenths, you multiply the whole number (5) by 10 to get 50 tenths, then add the half (0.5) to get 5 more tenths, totaling 55 tenths.
one quarter is less than one third
These are different phases of the moon based on its appearance as observed from Earth. Crescent moon is when less than half of the moon is visible, first quarter is when half of the moon is visible, waning gibbous is when more than half but less than full moon is visible, and waxing gibbous is the phase when more than half but less than full moon is visible.
You can see more than one half but less than all of the Moon's lighted side during the phases known as gibbous moons. This occurs when the Moon is more than half illuminated but less than fully illuminated by the Sun from our perspective on Earth.
He has two and a Quarter pounds of bird seed. So he has one quarter of a pound less than two and a half pounds.
It sounds like the moon is currently waxing gibbous, with more than a quarter but less than half of the moon visible. As it progresses towards the third quarter phase, the visible portion will continue to decrease until only half of the moon is visible.
0.488 contains 4 tenths and a bit more which is less than 1 tenth 0.68 contains 6 tenths and a bit more which is less than 1 tenth 6 tenths are bigger than 4 tenths → 0.68 > 0.488
two tenths is more then ten one hundredths
That happens at the times of the First Quarter and Last Quarter phases. "Half moon" is actually not a bad description for what you see at that time. It's more than a crescent, but less than gibbous.
5/10 is one half of something and 3/10 is less than one third of something. Let's say you had ten dollars. 5/10 of that would be five dollars, but 3/10 would only be three dollars.
