Is 0.01 greater than 0.0002

Answer 1

0.0002

Answer 2

YES

To compare decimals, bring both decimals to the same number of decimals place, by adding suffix zeroes, ' 4' d.p. in this case.

Hence

0.0100 & 0.0002

Drop the decimal point

Hence

00100 & 00002

Drop the prefix 'zeroes'

100 & 2

Clearly 100 > 2 .

Hence it follows that 0.01 > 0.0002

Answer 3

The more 0 after a decimal point (.) and before the first significant decimal (the first number between 1 and 9 after the decimal point), the smaller the number is, so:

0.1 > 0.01 (> means greater than and < means less than)

0.005 < 0.02000309

So yes, 0.01 is greater than 0.0002, even though the number 2 is greater than 1.

Hope this helps :P
