No, you cannot except in trivial cases.

I could be wrong. But my son had the same problem I think you subtract both numbers to get the answer

To compare two decimals, start by comparing the digits with the highest place-value. In this case, the first digit after the decimal point. Whichever is greater, belongs to the greater number. If these digits are equal (for example, when you compare 0.15 and 0.173), compare the second digit - and continue until you find a difference.
technically you don't line up the ones. you line up the decimals. you do this because it is necessary to compare place value to place value in order to order.
When comparing numbers, the digits are compared starting with the highest place value column that is not empty (or contains a zero) across the numbers. If the digits are the same, the next place value column to the right is checked; and so on until a difference is found or all the digits are the same making the numbers equal. By lining up the decimal points the digits of each place value column are now aligned and it is easy to compare the correct digits (that is the digits in the place value columns) and see which order the numbers are (from least to greatest, etc).
The different digits have different values.
If x - y > 0, then x is greater than y.The greater positive number is the one further from zero.Which number is greater can be worked out on a digit by digit basis:To compare numbers starting with the highest place value column compare the digits, moving right a place value column until either all digits have been considered or one digit is higher than the other - the number with the higher digit is the greater number. (If a place value column is empty, its digit value is 0).
