Is .008 greater or less than .08?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of numbers. You see, .08 is actually greater than .008 because the more zeros you have after the decimal point, the smaller the number becomes. Just like how adding more colors to a painting can make it more vibrant and lively!
