Best Answer

One number is expressed in hundredths and one is in thousandths. So first, make each into the same version:0.52 becomes 0.520

0.500 remains 0.500


Or, you could also reduce the numbers to the same in tenths.

0.500 becomes 0.50 (0 rounded up makes no change to the next number)

0.52 remains 0.52


So now, you see that the first number is 20 more than the second number. So 0.52 is greater than 0.500, not less than.
