I want to know if 62 or 12 is greater.

Should I start by comparing the tens place or the ones place?

You should start by comparing the tens place.

Which number below has a value of 8 thousandths?

A) 0.008
B) 0.080
C) 0.800
D) 8.000

A) 0.008 has a value of 8 thousandths.

To determine which number is greater, we should start by comparing the tens place first. The tens place is the second digit from the right in a number. In this case, the number 62 has a 6 in the tens place, while the number 12 has a 1 in the tens place. Since 6 is greater than 1, we can conclude that 62 is greater than 12.
