To compare any pair of decimals, nring both decimals to the same number of decimal places , by inserting suffix zeroes. Hence #
0.05 & 0.40 ( 2 d.p.)
Drop the decimal point
005 & 040
Drop the prefix zeroes.
5 & 40

O.4 is greater than 0.05 and here's why:
Always move your decimal 2 places to the right. So if you move the decimal 2 places to the right of 0.4 it will look like this = 40.
You add a zero for the missing place. So that means 0.05 = 5.
Anything before the decimal will be as a whole number so that would mean 40 is greater that 5.
