Imagine that you have a pie. If you cut that pie into 10 equal pieces and take four of them, it will be a lot more pie that if you cut the pie into 100 equal pieces and take four of them.
If you cut the pie into 10 pieces, each piece is a tenth of the pie. If you cut the pie into one hundred pieces, each piece will be a hundredth of the pie.
You can really only tell which fraction is greater when they have the same denominator. 4/10 = 40/100. That's ten times greater than 4/100

80 tenths and 300 hundredths
Well, honey, 4 tenths is greater than 4 hundredths because tenths are bigger than hundredths. It's like comparing a dime to a penny - one is worth more than the other. So, 4 tenths is indeed greater than 4 hundredths, no doubt about it.
