If the second number after the decimal (hundredths) is less than 5 it rounds to the first number after the decimal (tenths). If the second number after the decimal (hundredths) is 5 or greater it rounds to one higher than the first number after the decimal (tenths). For example 0.14 = .1 0.16 = .2
two tenths is more then ten one hundredths

Look at the hundredths place only. If it is 5 or more round up, add one to the tenths place, and throw away the hundredths and all decimal parts to the right of it. If the hundredths place is less than 5 round down, which means keep the tenths place the same and throw away the hundredths and all decimal parts to the right of it. Ex: 65.734 ... 3 is the hundredths place and is less than 5 ... round down = 65.7 or 74.38111 --- 8 is the hundredths place and is greater than 5 ... round up = 74.4
it is actually less...much less
It is 0.27
It is: 0.03 minus 0.3 = -0.27
12 hundredths would be .12 and seven tenths would be .7So, 12 hundredths, is NOT more than 7 tenths.12 hundredths is less than 7 tenths.

45 hundredths

0.05 is less than 0.5. 0.05 means five hundredths, whereas 0.5 means 5 tenths. Hundredths are smaller than tenths.

1.7 > 1.07 1.7 = 1 and 7 tenths 1.07 = 1 and 7 hundredths 1 tenth = 10 hundredths 7 tenths = 70 hundredths > 7 hundredths.

it is equal
