Neither. The number of digits after the decimal point is a measure of the accuracy, not magnitude.
14.2 because the number closest to the decimal point is always higher.
No, 8.5 is not greater than 9. In the decimal number system, the placement of the decimal point is crucial in determining the value of a number. When comparing two numbers with the same whole number part, the number with the greater decimal part is larger. In this case, 9 is a whole number, while 8.5 is a decimal number less than 9.
the last # and the decimal point
no it is less because the number before the decimal point is smaller
.9 is greater. Look at the first number after the decimal point -if it is greater, the number is greater. if the number is the same, go to the next decimal point; if it is greater, the number is greater; etc.
1.23 Since it gas 1 before the decimal point, it is greater than 1, the second number hasn't and so isn't.1.23 Since it gas 1 before the decimal point, it is greater than 1, the second number hasn't and so isn't.1.23 Since it gas 1 before the decimal point, it is greater than 1, the second number hasn't and so isn't.1.23 Since it gas 1 before the decimal point, it is greater than 1, the second number hasn't and so isn't.

26 is greater. 26 is a whole number 0.3 is a decimal number, in decimal numbers the whole numbers go on the left side of the decimal point and the parts of a number (fractions) go on the right side of the decimal point. So . 3 is not even a whole number.

42.1 because the number after the decimal point has a greater value.
It's the number that has more digits to the left of the decimal point (if there is no decimal point, it's the number with more digits). If the number of digits to the left of the decimal point is the same, find the position farthest to the left where the digits are different. The number with the greater of those two digits is the greater number. For example, 10000 is greater than 9999 because 10000 has more digits, and 6350 is greater than 6349 because the farthest-left position that is different is the tens place, and 5 is greater than 4.

50 cents, exactly as in the question. A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. Zeros after the decimal point are inappropriate because they imply a greater degree of precision and there is no justification for that.
