how do you create a decimal or a mixed number that is either greater or less than any number
No
There is no such thing.Choose any positive decimal - as small as you want. You can always create one that is even smaller, for instance, dividing it by 10 (adding an additional zero after the decimal point). For example, if you choose 0.000001, you can create a smaller decimal if you divide it by ten: 0.0000001. Since it is ALWAYS smaller to create an even smaller positive decimal, it follows that there is no smallest such decimal.
Greater. The second number after decimal is greater so number is greater.
Not necessarily, if the decimal is also negative. eg -4 is not greater than -3.5
The 1st decimal number is the greater
Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers. Decimals can be either positive or negative.
20.35 and 2791/4
.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.
No, it is not greater that 5.
No
Yes, the decimal number 8.8 is greater than the decimal number 12.12.
When the number is greater
It you are multiplying by a number greater than one (or, equivalently, dividing by a number less than one) then the decimal would either stay put or move to the right.

It is either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.
