Is 0.002 greter than 0.001

Answer 1

No, 0.002 is not greater than 0.001. In decimal form, the number 0.002 is equivalent to 2 thousandths, while 0.001 is equivalent to 1 thousandth. When comparing these two numbers, 0.001 is smaller than 0.002 because it represents a smaller fraction of a whole.

Answer 2

Yes.

To sort numbers into order compare the same place value column digits from the left hand end; if the digits are the same, move to the next digit to the right - if any digit is missing it can be taken to be zero.

The first digit of each is a units digit which are both 0, so compare the next digit (the tenths digit), which are also 0, so compare the next digit (the hundredths digit) which are also both 0, so compare the next digit (the thousandths) digit; now there is a 1 and a 2 with 2 > 1 → 0.002 > 0.001.
