Best Answer

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! Think of slices of PIEE :D
