0.008 & 0.08
Bring both decimals to the same number of decimal places, in this case 'three d.p.'.
Hence 0.008 & 0.080
Drop the decimal point
0008 & 0080
Drop the PREFIX zeroes . they are trivial
8 & 80
I think you will agree that 80 > 8
Hence it follows that 0.008 < 0.08 or 0.08 > 0.008
NB This method is good for comparing any pair of decimal numbers.
0.6 is less than 0.8
.008
0.2 is less than 0.80.2 < 0.8
0.25 is greater than 0.08
no, 46 is not bigger than 80
8 mm, .08 dm, .008 cm, .0008 meters
What of these is greater percent .08 or .018
No, 0.63 is less than 0.8
0.009
No.
Because 0.9 is five hundredths more than 0.85
They're the same.
