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.
