Why are fourths bigger than tenths?

Fourths are much bigger than tenths. They are so much bigger that it only takes FOUR of them to make one whole something. Tenths are smaller; it takes TEN of them to make the same whole something.

2 tenths is larger, because when it is written in the form of a ratio or fraction (example) as 2/10, which is greater than 2/1000. Also, if you look at the decimal (if it is one) the more zeroes a number has after the decimal, the smaller it is. 2 tenths : 0.2 2 thousandths : 0.002 (: hope this helped!
