Which is larger, 0.08 or 0.028?

Answer 1

.08 is larger

Answer 2

To determine which number is larger between 0.08 and 0.028, we compare the place values of the digits. In 0.08, the 8 is in the hundredths place, while in 0.028, the 2 is in the thousandths place. Since 8 is greater than 2, 0.08 is larger than 0.028.

Answer 3

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When comparing decimals, we look at the place value. In this case, 0.08 is larger than 0.028 because 0.08 has 8 hundredths while 0.028 only has 28 thousandths. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in math!

Answer 4

0.08 is larger. Line the decimal points up (Example below) and it is easier to see 8 is larger than 2 when aligned. Another way to assure the correct answer is adding zero as a place holder behind the 8.

0.080

0.028
