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.

If you give out a piece from the one cut into 4 pieces, and a piece from the one cut into 10 pieces, which piece will be larger? The first pie is cut into fourths, and the second is cut into tenths.

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!

Is 1.2 greater than 2.1?

No, 1.2 is not greater than 2.1. In comparing two numbers, the one with the larger value is considered greater. In this case, 2.1 is greater than 1.2 because the digit 2 in the tenths place is larger than the digit 1 in the tenths place.
