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.
