Because a tenth is 0.1
And a hundredth is 0.001
Therefore, 4 tenths and two hundredths would be 0.42, whereas two tenths and four hundredths would be 0.24.
Because 4/10ths and 2/100ths can also be combined and written as 42/100ths. If you do the same with 2/10ths and 4/100ths you get 24/100ths, which is obviously less than 42/100ths.

What has a greater value 2 tenths of a dollar or 10 hundredths of a dollar?
2 tenths= 20 cents 10 hundredths= 10 cents 2 tenths is greater
Which is greater 4 tenths and 2 hundredths or 2 tenths and 4 hundredths?
4 tenths and 2 hundrenths (0.42>0.24)
Is 2 tenths bigger than 15 hundrefths?
No, 2 tenths is not bigger than 15 hundredths. In decimal form, 2 tenths is written as 0.2, while 15 hundredths is written as 0.15. Since 0.15 is greater than 0.2, 15 hundredths is indeed bigger than 2 tenths.
Is 0.8 greater than 0.23?
0.8 is greater than o.23 because the tenths place is greater than the hundredths place. .8 > .2
Is 5.19 greater than 5.2?
No. 5.1 is 5 and "1 tenth and a bit less than 1 tenth", but 5.2 is 5 and "2 tenths". "2 tenths" is greater than "1 tenth and a bit less than 1 tenth". Thus 5.19 < 5.2 Alternatively, with 5.2 there are no hundredths, so you can put a zero in the (empty) hundredths column and not change its value: 5.2 = 5.20 Now it is easy to see 5.19 has 19 hundredths and 5.2 = 5.20 has 20 hundredths and 19 < 20, so 5.19 < 5.20 = 5.2
